"Girl"Immatation

Alway be polite and say 'yes mam or no mam' 'yes sir or no sir. Always say thank you when someone does something nice for you and don't forget to smile, it lets people know your friendly and you mean it. Always be sure to hold doors open for people especially ladies and elders. Don't talk back to anyone, especially o me and your father, it's rude and you need to learn how to listen better, your mouth gets you in trouble quite a lot. "but what if they started it and aren't being fair?" LIfe isn't always fair sweetie and you need to learn how to overcome obstacles in your life without using your fists and harsh words. Now, when you talk to ladies always be nice and treat them with respect, they like that and good girls always go after good boys. It helps to wear clean cloths too, not cloths you pick up off the floor or out of the dirty laundry. "but sometimes the shirts I pick out smell fine..." Always look, smell and feel your best, it's good for you and make people see that your a good boy and you know how to take care of yourself. Do as your mother tells you and you'll find yourself going places and being a happy person, one day you'll find yourself a nice young lady and you'll be thanking me for telling you how to be respectful.

Dialog

I was sitting on a bench in the park one day I overheard two young people...

"Hello" the young man said to the woman playing with her dog. "Hello" she kindly answered. "

Lovely day today isn't it?" he said with a grin. The young woman answered back, "Yes, it really

is. I wish there were more days like today". The young man sat down and motioned for her to do

the same next to him. She smiled meekly and sat down. "For a beautiful woman such as

yourself" he held out a flower for her that he had just picked out of the ground". "Thank you kind

sir" She said accepting the flower and putting it in her hair. "I've missed you so much you know"

she said with a sigh and leaned onto his shoulder. "I know" he said with sadness in his eyes.

"Why can we just be together? It just doesn't seem fair." He turned to her, gently holding her

chin with his hand and kissed her. "I love you" he said smiling. "We can't be together right now

but I promise you that when I come back I'll be all yours, and we can start a family maybe." The

young woman looked up at him and gazed into his eyes. "I'll wait for you, no matter how long it

takes." " It won't be too long my dear, time will pass and before you know it I'll be back in your

arms and we can be together, happy, for as long as we live." The young man then stood up,

helping her up as he did, hugged her tightly and walked away. After watching him leave for a

minute or two she shouted "I love you!" with tears running down her face. She sat down and

started petting her dog as she watched the young man until she could see him no longer.

I was very moved by what I had just seen, and as I sat on that park bench I started to wonder

about what their story could have been.

Meter in Poetry and Verse

Howl Immatation

I see the greatest mind of my generation fall into societies cradle...

I see destruction, ignorance, narcism, hubris, filth, and cruelty...

Men and women who fight just to live, live to fight and enjoy their pain and suffering...

Innocents being tortured unmercifully...

drunks, druggies, lazy selfish human beings that just get through life instead of living, and yet living the life they think is great and fantastic until they hit rock bottom and finally realize what they have done to themselves and others around them...

I see hope, truth, loyalty, faith, grace, purity, and purpose...

Men and women fighting for our future...

Pure souls giving hope to those of us that are willing to help ourselves and others...

Thinkers, hard workers, and lovers of this world and those in it, trying to save this planet that we live on and every living soul and creature on it...

I see both good and bad in this world, societies political leaders are a joke, controlling us and showing us who we should be and what we should think is good for us. We were not meant to be manipulated and yet we allow ourselves to be so easily. It's a rarity now that you find someone fighting, alone, but with great heart. I hope to one day see this as less of a rarity and more of a common occurrence. This planet is dying along with us. We're killing ourselves but there is hope...

Thirteen ways of looking at Hot Cheetos

I

Among multiple bags of chips
The bag that caught my eye
Was the Hot Cheetos bag

II

I was filled with joy,
Like a kid
In hopes of going to Disney Land

III

The Hot Cheetos called to me
It sounded like the rest

IV

A boy and a girl
Are one
A boy and a girl and a bag of hot Cheetos
Are one

V

I do not know how to choose
The morsel within reach
Or the money in my pocket
The Hot Cheetos calling
Or whatever

VI

I walk away
With my mouth watering
At the thought
Of those delicious
Hot Cheetos
