Poem
Simon – the protagonist. 18 – year old kid who just graduated from high school. Lives in middle class suburbia, no designated town, and an every-town sort of feel. Lives with his mother, his older brother. (Father has recently passed away...a year ago) Have a small number of friends, most of them through service groups. Very active in community service, volunteers for church organizations. Enthusiastically participates in highway clean-ups. Loves helping old ladies to their cars with groceries. Brings in stray pets from the street, he’s currently the unofficial caretaker of 7 dogs and 5 cats. A steady “B” student in school, would be an A student if he didn’t spend so much time with community service. Doesn’t date at all, has almost no free time, although he does sometimes feel like he’s missing out. Drives a brown station wagon. Has never put any type of hair product in his hair before, wears a T-shirt and blue jeans 80% of the time, 20% he is in church wearing something nicer. Earns most of his money during school at a part-time job at an old folk’s home, taking walks with them, listening to their stories. The kids at school have nicknamed him “Simon Theresa.” He sometimes gets frustrated at other people, that they’re not doing enough for the community. In church when he was 13 he stood up and demanded more people donate money into the basket being passed around. He is sometimes too passionate about what he does. He is not very athletic, or interested in playing sports, yet he is ridiculously good at table games (ping-pong, air hockey, pool, etc.) He has a hard time socializing with people his age, and fears he is too different from everyone else. He has always been the antithesis of his brother and father, who are very much the All- American male: athletic, sports fans, cigar toting, car lovers, beer buddies, etc. The only alcohol Simon consumes is the teaspoon mass. Despite how opposite they are, he gets along fine with his brother, as their personalities seem to compliment each other. His father on other hand, he feels like he failed somehow, ever since his death, he never felt he got his acceptance from him. And I can't help him.
