Eighth Grade Paid


All the pre-teen boys 

And their tender toys  


Looking back 

They wanted too much 

From this dusty pearl 


A fleet in their 

Mangled world 


Holding fort in this 

Pimpled swirl 


Pease God keep me 

Away from a tired hurl 


With a frantic whirl 

Upon this tattered curl 



Looking Back


Tomorrow is always 

Better than today 


Like an alabaster swan 

Without prey 


A windy play 

Catching hay 


A runaway bus 

Lost in a morbid gray 

Eating its way through a handsome stay 


Why, oh why, does 

Infinity end 

With a deaf band 

Making plans at 


A concert without hands 

Outstretched like small lands 


Seeking peace from 

Battered glands
