Labeling
I put that label on it. And it now says Tylenol instead of Bayer. And the best part is is that it used to be a Coke 2-liter. I can't wait to fool myself when I've forgotten what I've done. I'm a stinker. And it makes me giggle.

Why you so pretty flower?
That damned dandelion took up all of my day. I couldn't stop starin' at it. I couldn't believe it. I thought it would only take a couple of minutes to just look at it. But it didn't. It took all damn day. All damn day. And now I'm paying for it. Dearly.

It's how it goes
Remember when I had that hamburger and you called it a beefburger? You were right and I was wrong.

Pizza made of loose leaf and crayon
I sat on the couch waiting for the thing that makes it work. Something made me sleepy and I put the thing on hold by making myself the size of a runt. And I climbed back in and hid. When I woke up, someone had made me a day-old pizza and left me one piece.

It tasted like school.
