She never listened to anybody
This was around the time I was 8 or 9 years old.
I was in the 3rd grade.
The teacher's aid always told her and the rest of us not to stand up on the swing.
She always did it anyway.
She never listened to anybody.
I heard she had a terrible upbringing.
She was beaten by her mother for being mischievous and defiant.
Her father would come home when he wanted to.
He was a traveling salesman.
Supposedly he had two mistresses, with families in Texas & Virginia.
I hated her guts because she always used to chase me home from school, pull my hair...

Back to The Back of the Bus
Move me back to the back of the bus
where the cool kids be
no muss no fuss, just booze and weed
and firecrackers
aimed at tires and seats of open jeeps
move me please
too much heat on the front where a rear view sees
and I am doomed to please
by having all my human cease
let me be as scum and sleaze
cough and wheeze
in the back of the back of the back of the bus
rum and heathens
run your thumb above where drunk chum is sleeping
to find gum...
where the cool kids be
no muss no fuss, just booze and weed
and firecrackers
aimed at tires and seats of open jeeps
move me please
too much heat on the front where a rear view sees
and I am doomed to please
by having all my human cease
let me be as scum and sleaze
cough and wheeze
in the back of the back of the back of the bus
rum and heathens
run your thumb above where drunk chum is sleeping
to find gum...

Modalities
I've been having a hard time with Rod Jesus
(you have to call him by both names)
He's trouble by the minute.
Taking stuff from other students
Blurting out nonsense
Refusing to stay in his seat
Spilling Skittles all over the floor,
smashing them into the carpet with his heel.
By afternoon,
I sometimes lose it.
He's hyperactive
He's also bored
Two weeks into fifth grade,
he's reading below a first-grade level.
Worksheets
may as well be written in Hindi.
Yesterday,

The Aliens Have Arrived
Yelling cursing, noise level terror
Then he hits her
She cries
Things get quiet, then it starts again
Locked in his room, the boy sits on the floor next to his bed
That's the place he goes when they go at it
Mother & Alien, this man/boyfriend
This thing that watches TV or it's i-phone and drinks long cans of malt liquor in the dark
Sometimes the Alien is there when his mother isn't
The Alien doesn't talk
The Alien drinks, beats mother & watches TV
The boy knows that he's lucky the Alien doesn't beat on him
Other Aliens have...

The Schoolboys and the Rastafarian Men (With original Patois quotations)
Two schoolboys, Dan and Josh, attended the Independent City All Age School in St. Catherine. In the evenings, they used to walk through a cane field near the school when they were going home. Many tall coconut trees bordered the cane field. Dan and Josh would cut sugar cane and pick coconuts to eat. In addition to that, they would carry some sugar cane and coconuts home.
The boys had a big problem. They had to pass a construction site on the way home, and some men who worked there would beg them sugar cane and coconuts. If the boys refused to give the men what they asked...

Let's Get One Thing Straight, Kid.
Let's
get one
thing straight, Kid.
I agreed to
pose naked for your
art class project. But you
are not allowed to do things
to me that we know should be known
as nasty and obscene or the deal
is off. Do I make myself clear on that?

Such An Embarrassing Day It Was For Her
On Monday, Janet
disrobed and turned
towards the entire
art class that includes
her grandmother.

It Really Was Peter's Idea
Hazel stepped into the classroom.
She dropped her robe and stood naked.
It really was Peter's idea.

From The Duckling To The Swan
There was this
one girl back in high school
who was such a nerd but lets herself
to dare to dream of a way to make it all go
away which happened when we met her
in college and... now... is
so red hot.

Under Pressure
One time when I was in summer camp
I was talking to this guy about suicide
He told me about this kid he used to go to school with
The kid was a straight "A" student
His parents told him not to bother coming home if he had anything less
One day they were walking home from school and he said he had gotten a "B"
He said, "My parents are going to kill me"
My friend said, "No way, relax!"
The kid said that he had to go
My friend said, "See ya later"
Later that day the kid jumped off the roof of his...

Nobody Cares That You Were Chased by a Donkey in Sardinia
She was probably rehearsing telling the story
as the event was happening
something about a donkey
persisntely rubbing up against her
which caused the other four teachers
at our last day of school happy hour
to ask why
Why would a donkey do that?
Eww.
I think he liked you, liked you
I quip
as I dip a chip into the cruelly fiery salsa
at the Mexican restaurant
in one of the most Mexican parts of town
now I'm being mildly pathetic
playing up my ethnic experience.
I was running so fast my heart rate...
