The big wall towering
Over us all upright
Whose broad bricks
And bright clay

My first job...
Application on the table next to me.

Thank you.
Thank you for totally destroying my ability to trust anyone.
My stage is made of concrete.
My audience is the stars.

My pencil just ran out of lead. How convenient!
The new puppy whizzed on the floor. Just beautiful!

It’s funny sometimes when big kids don’t pass.
The teacher is really loud and sometimes cray.

With those little side stories you tell
I’d like to meet your many cats
And maybe even that husband of yours
I also like those worksheets

Untimely action gives timely punishment
Goodly action gives strange rewards
Having strength to speak plainly often does little for you

If you were sometimes actually fun
I would bet you'd have a spouse
Don't listen if you don't want to hear.
Don't watch if you don't want to see.

I'll push you down a flight of stairs.
Hear me laugh.
