HENRY
O HENRY GIBSON O HENRY GIBSON
Sitting across from Robards Library writing a
city poem Ugly dinosaur looms up up Wicked
wind tunnel below makes young you wish she
had stayed in burbs Screw higher education
But everyday you made the trek in a Dodge Monaco
with almost no gas Slimy little brother used it to
chase poon on freezing Manor nights
Today is a new day +after skirting the advances of Law
School don you cruise home to sounds of: Candy’s Room
Already tasting the baked potato your gorgeous mother
will have waiting
At night in your room you read her a few lines from Henrik Ibsen’s
A Doll’s House and wish that she were more Thelma & Louise than
Hedda or Nora But you won’t take shit from no Torvald now will you
College girl?
