Mr Fitzroy Teaches Class Poem by DAVID GERARDINO

MR FITZROY

OK, every one take a seat,
now, todays lesson is about
fairy tales, and surrealistic
freaks,

STUDENT

YOU mean like ricocheting
two ideas at the same time,
like peace and war, or running
and stopping at the same time,

MR FITZROY

no, like a hounted house in the
day time, or fat dragons on a
thursday night, or plead says
john, or wearing a fidgeting
smile when you hear bad news,
or, cemeteries in a mental
hospital, or, watching blood
drip from your tube, or washing
your hands with your own tears,
or, wearing your slippery black
shoes, and putting holes in
brand new jeans, , , , ,

THE bell rings and mr fitzroy
takes his blue and white pills.
