wake up late for school
rushing to get ready
it's Saturday

watching my mom
leave for work
no gas

eating breakfast
I spy a spider
doesn't move

black spider
mom screams
I laugh

top quarter champion

top half champion

bottom quarter champion

card of money
full of green
seven dollar bill

open the door
one hundred dollar bill
tied to a string

he rethinks
tells her don't
use your toothpaste

book missing
hidden laughter, gasping
a suspicious glare

top half champion

TOP champion

bottom half champion

pumped for the game
take my warm-up pants off
no shorts

April morning
giggles in the hallway
untied shoelaces

pitching motion
empty hand
--no ball

the shot goes up
air ball
April Fools

top quarter champion

bottom half champion

bottom quarter champion

my girlfriend gone
something in my bed
a monkey

he scratches his knee
and stands
April fools

I showed up
nobody there
April fools

first date
dressed up and anxious
dinner alone
