| Jim Wrote a Poem |
| by xTx |
| about two people I love the most
for their anniversary It was actually pretty good I was surprised given that Jim looks hillbillyjoejimbob with his fucked up teeth and Wal-Mart wardrobe and whorey daughter prancing her ass around and around so when he said he wanted to read the poem he wrote and gathered us around like school assembly I was anxiously embarrassed for him in advance He started with no clearing of the throat in a voice smoker stagnant reading about youth’s breaking of glass the jagged pieces sharp in their newness split from form gradually rounded and tamed by years’ undulations of God’s oceans or some shit like that transforming slicing shards into weathered, frosted friendly so beautiful in their endured aging and some other things I can’t remember anyways it was supposed to be analogous of many years of lives spent long together During the reading of it, his simple face and sincere words so pretty I remember thinking, ‘impressive’ and “I didn’t even write a poem for these folks’ and everyone clapped As well they should’ve. I clapped too. And I looked at Jim’s daughter with her crazy face and slut blonde locks shining fake and tawdry in the sun waiting for her to turn around in her inappropriately short dress so I could see her ass cheeks again. (her fucking ass cheeks were hanging out of her dress!) I was thinking I’m going to write a poem about THAT! And I did. |
