paul gold

paul gold

as good as gold he was

rocking from one foot to the other

to the other one foot to the other

  1958 it was

  nine we were

the year we had a man teacher

for the first time 

but not the last time did he say

stop    STOP

you’re making me seasick

  that stung more

than all the canes

 

that last year

before the big school

our childhood in ruins
