Too old to play with Suzy who lies in the
corner, her shiny blonde hair is unkempt,
and there’s the patch where she’s got no
hair because the dog has grabbed her with
his teeth, and she’s still wearing the pink
dress from last summer, but I’m too old
now to take her up, and the dog’s an oaf,
and Suzy is moping she sure is,
and Mom’s talking to that new guy, he seems
kinda nice and chews gum, he has dreadlocks
and puts lumps of hard earth in his cigarettes,
he heats them with his lighter and crumbles
them on his cigarette paper, and when he
smiles I see his yellow teeth and a hole where
a tooth is missing, he’s kinda slow, and then he
leans over, kisses Mom, and then he winks at me,
too young to play with Sam, I can see him in the
window next door, upstairs, he’s standing and
gazing over, he’s staring at Mom and the new guy,
they’re still kissing and I see two tongues, they’re
pink and glistening and it looks gross, and Sam
next door is stroking his pants, there must be
lots of marbles in his pockets where he’s
stroking ‘cause there’s a real big bulge,
and I would prefer to play with him, I love to
toss marbles, but Mom insists I stay here with
her and the new guy, and I would like to pick up
Suzy or ring next door to play with Sam but I’m
too old, I’m too young, and I wish I could grow
up real quick and not get a day older, please,
and I squint my eyes, and Mom and the new
guy and Sam and the dog that oaf go all blurry
