Poem Title:
Poem
It was kind of nice having money all the Time. Looking back when I was seventeen, I looked forward to going to work. It is unlike what I feel about work now. I did a lot of reading as a child. I read all kinds of books. I would consider Oak Lawn a safe Community then. I can’t remember any times when I got beat up. I did a lot of running home and telling. I avoided a lot of suffering by talking to My parents about the bullies. It wasn’t until junior high that I had to Take care of a fight that went way wrong. I was scared to death of a seventh grader. I fought him, and found out he wanted to Wrestle. I wasn’t that good of a Wrestler then. I got better In high school. It was kind of chaotic, and the wrestling matches Were more “fighting” than wrestling. I hung in school and made a name for myself At Oak Lawn Community High School. My sister gave me a collection of albums My junior year. I was introduced to all kinds of music by Those. My first good introduction to music came My sophomore year. A friend introduced me to “The Police” with “Zenyatta Mondatta” and “Ghost in The Machine”. He told me what he did at his party In eighth grade. They sat around and played Gin. They drank soda. They went bowling. I got off to a late start with music, And I finally caught up with my tape- Radio I got for Christmas my junior year. I could have had a big party, But I decided to wait. I didn’t really have one except The one’s I had in grammar school. My friend thought he was going to Get married to this one girl at O.L.C.H.S. It fizzled out like my relationship did. That girl liked someone else though. I should have given up calling her, It was no fun talking to her. She didn’t talk to me at all in school. I’m not sure she even knew who I was In lunch. I didn’t have anymore classes with her. Her boyfriend went out for basketball Like I should have done. I was pretty good. Maybe just Doing my chess and studying was the best thing for me to do.
