neighborhood poetry program
by gl. at 11:38 pm
last week trixie hosted an impromptu poetry workshop for some neighborhood boys:
[youthful poets]
they played with trixie a long time, considering how cold it was that day. let's see what they came up with:
[tell us where you want it you naked man]
[i make love wildly]
[all we need is weed]
[symphony & love]
[swift work makes only more]
i totally loved that last one. they were so pleased they didn't even balk when i asked for their picture:
[say cheese!]

How cool - you and Trixie have created four new budding poets!

Snort!
Were they disappointed that you didn't blanch and holler at them?

Plan for next time: remove all words that refer directly to drugs and/or sex, and see how long it takes them to come up with poetry that still refers to these topics! Present awards for cleverest drug/sex/illicit behavior metaphor! Delightful inter-generational fun!

i was really surprised & delighted they continued to play with it even after i drifted outside to see what was up. i hardly ever get to see people play with trixie; it's almost always anonymous poetry i find upon my return.
they asked if people stole them and i said "sometimes, but i hope it doesn't happen again because this is my last batch, and when they're gone, they're gone." and so i hope in some small way it makes them feel more protective towards her.
