Yeah Yeah, Love You Poem by Joseph Dos Santos

Yeah Yeah, Love You



7am:
A young man was struck down early today,
He didn't even have a chance, the EMT's did say,
In Scarborough outside a party, right on the curb,
Took two shots to the chest, all the neighbours said they heard.
And the rest of the details coming up after this break,
Along with the weather, and your traffic,
Good morning it's Monday...

5am:
Hello, this is her, who am I speaking to?
What exactly do you want, dammit it 5: 02!
Kevin! Yes, that's my son, do you know where he is?
I'm his mother, he was at a party with all of his friends.
No not my Kev, you must have the wrong boy,
We last spoke at eleven, he was leaving with Roy.
No, no please, this must be a mistake,
When did this happen? Nnow I have a headache.
Is this at the Thompson house? 53? I'm leaving now,
I just have to find my husband, he's been searching the whole town.

3am:
Whoa! I never took your chick, bro you're crazy alright,
Maybe you're just a dumbass who wants to see a little fight,
Outside? Right now? ! Who the hell is this guy?
Keep talking, I swear to God, I'll give you matching black eyes.
Really? ! On the sidewalk? How old are you man?
Hey Roy, I'm leaving now! Where the hell's my bro's van?
This dude here is crazy, talking a whole bunch of trash,
Touch me and trust, you'll wake up in a cast,
Oh really? ! Six feet under? Is that the best you got?
This man's talking smack like he's got a loaded glock.

1am:
Alright, one more drink, but then we gotta leave,
Look at cutie over there, I think her name is Eve,
Nah, she came alone, just her and the girls,
Your head's feeling funny? Please turn if you hurl.
I got 6 missed calls. And they all from my pops,
I told him I'd be home by 11, midnight tops.
But we got school today, I'm not feeling too well,
And if I don't get home soon, I'm gunna be in hell,
Yo! This guy just brushed me, does he really wanna play?
Hey stupid! Wait up! What the hell did you say?

11pm:
It's Kevin! Hey dad, yeah I know what time it is,
Yeah I know lots of people, I'm here with Roy, Rick and Liz,
Okay okay calm down, I'll still have time to sleep,
Don't worry I'm fine, we got some food to eat,
And yes we got bus tickets, just incase we can't drive,
Dad just calm down! Relax, I'm still alive.
We're leaving in a bit, I gotta dropp Roy home,
Yes, I can make back to the house all alone,
Alright dad, see you in a bit, I really gotta run,
Yeah yeah, love you, I won't do nothing dumb.
