"bananagrams" poems - Hello Poetry

Please come over. I’ll have a tea set, my clavinova dusted off, Apples to Apples, Bananagrams and a fireplace for philosophical talk. You can keep telling me how the regions of the body have different tones and pitch different notes, and how the ridges of your bones show like ripples in a desert. I’ll wallow in your catalogues: all the warcraft of WWII, the chemicals that preserved the cats we dissected, and the steps to dissolving the puzzle of calculus. You will master the Rubik’s cube over and over again just to amuse me. And deep inside, I hope your poetry isn’t as good as mine. But I’ll still dance better and I’ll still cuddle with you in our home theatre, and I’ll pay you a piece of my mind once I’ve made it up.

Leaving class during an internal lockdown Shooting elastic bands at the target we mounted on the wall Shooting elastic bands at our teacher's hat Hiding from our teacher with the hat Naming the robot we programed in class: Clive Bananagrams Ditching gym class Talking/lying our way out of trouble a lot lol Making elaborate plans to do very odd things (and playing pink panther music as well as mission impossible music when we did it) Putting mistletoe everywhere in the school at Christmas Texting quotes of the night Writing fictional stories and sending them over text to each other in parts at 2AM Writing poetry Learning the Greek Alphabet so we could play Greek Hangman Creating numerous extremely complicated codes where punctuation, capitalization, "accidental" smudges near words and how you pronounce certain words is significant. Always buying the same drink at Starbucks Eating a ridiculous amount of free samples at the Fro Yo place Skipping down the hall happily in our gothic spiked clothing. Just to confuse people. Watching the looks we got. Writing limericks in math class Playing Go Fish with our bus passes and when the teacher came over all he said was: Oh! Who's winning? Playing full tackle basketball...when we were supposed to be playing badminton Filling a friend's locker with stuffed animals while they were away and texting them to warn them we put a lion and bear in their locker Inside jokes: Whiteout, Whip-cream, We-are-the-crazy-people, **** that's a fiiiine shoulder! Pass the coke! Playing Quarto during Science class Playing boggle during religion I miss that grade. I wish things could go back to the way they were, but they really can't ever. I miss being so young and innocen- hahahahaha okay, not innocent but young and crazy. I miss when there were not scars on my arms and my soul.

I think I’m ****** up, An island in an ocean, An ocean full of people; Welcome, you’re alone. Let’s talk in Scrabble Bananagrams from the mouth ******* off the dome. Computer programs, give me courage If x=no And y=yes I used to be able to program my feelings Now I got pills for that.

Let it alone

I think I’m ****** up, An island in an ocean, An ocean full of people; Welcome, you’re alone. Let’s talk in Scrabble Bananagrams from the mouth ******* off the dome. Computer programs, give me courage If x=no And y=yes I used to be able to program my feelings Now I got pills for that.
