they took a shit in my shoe
And I put it on
But it didn’t smell so bad
After I wiped my sock
On their pillow
And then I noticed
That my feet
Weren’t that sad looking
And I felt better knowing
That I had the most beautiful feet
This side of the tracks
On the other side lived the Boxter Family
A mother, husband, daughter and two sons
Their kids would come over
And make fun of me
For sitting on my porch
And writing poetry
“Fag Poet” they would yell
and I would respond with
“Your mother licks balls”
its true
anyway
everyday
they would bother me
until finally I got a big dog
and I named him
“Chuck”
Chuck was cool
He never barked
Only bit
So when the kids came against my fence
And began yelling
Chuck lifted his head
And I gave him the signal
As he made his way over
The kids threw eggs at him
But that tough son of a bitch
Just kept on walking
with his head up high, taking eggs to the face
And when he reached the fence
Casually sniffing their pants
He looked me in the eye
And my dog Chuck and I connected
As if he were saying
“I know”
and
After that
The kids never came back
I miss those kids.
