Ape men cause me much grief
For they came from the primordial ooze.
Once I laughed at them and ate my beef
And then they removed their shoes.
On the stench that bellowed forth I wretched,
And in their eyes, glimpsed the revolting gleam.
Self- doubt crept silently into my chest.
And my eyes began to stream.
Running to my secret place I sobbed,
And falling to the ground I hid,
But through the trees they ducked and bobbed
Many armed, like a giant squid.
With a sudden start I awoke in sheets, twisted and torn
It was time for school, and I was late, on another third grade morn.

Stranded
A single hair
Curls
Lonely and flaccid
Fused by heat
And is
Served
In a
Quiche.
