Response to Being Interrupted
Hey mister boy with the bad hair
straw blonde and frayed like old bandaids,
thin pencil lines of shaking flaking lips,
And your bleached farmer pants
and fratboy tee- shirts,
your expensive analog wristwatch in silver inlay,
It seems every time I open my mouth to speak
those whining curling pencil lips open
to speak over my inadequate mind.
Mister boy with the acne pucker scars
educate me, explain to me please,
why you grace and bless me with your profound thoughts.
