At home
drawing pictures
of mountain tops
with him on top
lemon yellow sun
arms raised in a V
and the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn’t give attention
to the fact
that mommy didn’t care
King Jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly i remember
picking on the boy
seemed a harmless little fuck
but we unleashed a lion
gnashed his teeth and
bit the recess ladies breast
how could i forget?
and he hit me with a surprise left
my jaw left hurting
dropped wide open
just like the day
like the day i heard
Daddy didn’t give affection
and the boy was something
that mommy wouldn’t wear
King Jeremy the wicked
ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this
try to erase this
from the black board
