Friday

I.

I like to draw heads,
you can draw the eyes,
the shape and size,
it's fun to make something new,
in pen blue.

But they are so flat,
they look so stupid,
so contrived,

Sigh,

I like to draw a head,
looking straight up,
but it's disgusting,
abrupt,
I hate it in my gut.

Is that usual?
Is it cruel to stare,
is it o.k. to stare at a child,
when they were staring at you first?

Did you ever stare at a cat,
an old wise one who was resting on his belly?
You shouldn't, cats find that aggressive.

A child will stare at you,
even when you are looking straight at him.
We get so bashful when we age,
not at all like a fine cheese.

II.

A guy came to the house to lay tiles.
He had a big blue van,
He was balding but with ponytails,
he was an older man.

He told us he only eats two meals,
one in the morning and one at night,
My Mom tried to serve him pizza at noon,
He didn't touch it, but he left with a beer alright.

On his last day he brought us
two quarts of sauerkraut and
two bottles of his homemade wine.
One was red one was peach,
it was a good wine!

I drank a glass of it,
  for good health,
but then I couldn't understand the movie
afterward, it was too confusing, so much talking,

don't get me wrong I like a good drama,

but lately I just
want to watch explosions
and,
   and car racing,
 machine guns,
and speedboat chasing,
    are these selections o.k.?
        Is this bread soft enough?
           Is this raw enough
 *sigh*
    I want to pilot an X-wing, Sigh

III.

When I was  ____teen,
I was so stupid,
I took a Clif bar and mashed it into the shape of a
       turd,
and set it on the floor to watch people's reaction.
  Males should go to school 2 years later than girls
because we mature so slowly and stupidly,
     I wore fat skate shoes at the time,
        but you probably already guessed that.
Huge fat black skate shoes, like big blocks on my legs,
god that looked stupid, probably made of shiny leather
or softy suede, and I probably loved to eat a hamburger back then,
and a fat greasy cookie  from kim's corner.
