snapchats and i love you's
the star football player writes poems, too
the star football player's hands shake like human's do
don't listen to me though
the star football player doesn't even know my name
and i don't even know who's on the football team
but i assume he has feelings too
under his snapbacks and maroon
when he gets caught for his snapchats or when the crowd boos
when her dad finds his texts or when Nels makes 'em look like a fool
i hate rhymes and he probably doesn't understand haiku's
maybe that's why the star football player doesn't even know my name
and why i don't know who's on the football team
because i wear hats to block the sun;
not to look cool.

ReplyDeleteProbably one of my favorite hat pieces. You have such great control over language and your word play is fantastic.

That's a great line
the rhythm, the rhyme, YES
ReplyDeleteThis is dope. There's something about the star football player that makes me want to read this. The star football player is a thing, he isn't a person. He's an idea.
ReplyDeleteThe part about the poems and the shaking hands.
... Awestruck
ReplyDeletehonestly
I'm jealous
