Hi! My name's Gibson, or just Gib. Some of you may know me from quite a while back as --love--. Don't know if any of you were around then. so ya that's my introduction now here's a poem.
I have interesting
things to say
I guess anyway, I mean
how do you know?
if anything is interesting?
If four people like is it interesting?
Would scientific
polling be necessary?
See what I mean?
no, maybe you don't.
I went into the bathroom
of Charley's
mall-side restaurant.
I wasn't a patron, i was one of those
restroom hoppers,
you know.
Got pissy at the bank,
you might say.
I'm in the bathroom,
and i notice the guy
beside me
is a handwasher,
you know, a handwasher.
He doesn't just
wash his
hands
he gets them damp
then soaps
then he rubs the soap in,
for like 30 seconds,
then he lets it sit another 10.
Then he turns the water on
and scrubs
under the running water
until his hands must be raw.
I tried to throw
my wet, dirty towel
in the wrong bucket.
We both laugh,
he says he would
do the same thing.
He's a friendly handwasher, I
decide.
I pick the lemonade
from the freezer.
3
one pink.
They cost a dollar each.
That's pretty
impressive
if you think about it,
really really think about it.
A pitcher of lemonade for one dollar
and a bottle for $1.25
And besides,
$1.00 is so even.
