Blanketing the earth until
The dawn of Spring’s Breath.

rueben the sandwich i love
but my oh my i despise the rye
billy rueben makes me baby yellow
frank billy’s dad
incensed how i feel around him
why are stupid people so mean
frankincense fit for the king of kings
poe was dark and filled me with fear
tree three stories high i climbed as a child
till i fell and hit my tailbone but did
no lasting damage to my bottom
poetry ideas not prose but we dont know why
anyway
frank is totally incensed at the beautiful words
billy could use to write poetry about his awe-filled
thus making it beyond aweful
regular rye wrapped rueben
i always confuse these two

the other day
a student turned to
me and asked
if ‘increasing’
means going up or
down
i shook my head
(neither up nor down)
and wondered
if this fourteen-year-old
has been alive
for the past fourteen years.
On Friday at approximately 11:21 AM,
I will be a master
of English, which
while sounding cool
translates into very,
very few jobs.
