Nicholas

Connie asked me if I could sit for

Her son Nicholas

He was 8

::

I knew about his Dad

I listened to Nicholas tell stories about his Dad

He said his Dad's favorite chair

Was the chair that I was sitting in

A white chair

Nicholas said his Dad was cleaning his gun

In the garage

The whole neighborhood knew

::

Connie went on a date

She had birth control in the kitchen cabinet

::

I watched SNL

The Sugarcubes Birthday was on

I liked Bjork’s hair

Alot

::

There was a sound coming from the garage

There was a sound coming from the garage

I stopped breathing

I stopped breathing

I went to look

I saw a cat

There was a cat door

On the door going into the garage

::

Connie came home

She asked me if I wanted her eye shadow

It was purple and turquoise

It was Chanel

I had it for years

::

When I went to the mall

A girl followed me and said

Under the Big Ben

She said I reminded her of Bjork

::

Nicholas

Connie walked me home

Up the street
