ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DAYS

“Smear the queer”
         on the open field—
cream whoever has
          the ball—

Played at eleven different
          Elementary schools.

          During recess,
                      I was
Commanding General of the second
                      And third grades.

So much power
               For such a little frame.

1992
