Never read King before

Hello all,

Well, I can honestly say that I have never indulged in any works by King. But I am glad you are glad to have a good read for the future.

I switched up my posting idea. I am going to post a shorter poem I just wrote, instead of the Revelation poem, which I sent to Kris. It needs work anyhow.

I work at Target now.....It stinks, but I get paid. I have an interview tomorrow (thurs) for a tutoring position with a youth organization here in the Portland area. I hope to get this position, so I feel as though I am contributing to society, rather the Target route....issshh

Well here is the poem:

A Grocery Setting: Father and Son
By Chris Lindgren

Father and son walking
hand-in-hand.
I admire them from afar,
as I squeeze a peach, in
the palm of my hand.
The son’s arm raised
above his head, guided
as to where to go.
My eyes see an honest
peach—
perfect.
The father, upon closer
inspection, wears a blemish.
I read on the front, “Hustler,”
On his back, as they pass,
“Relax, It’s just Sex.”

My fingers graze over
skin and youthful fuzz—
I find it to be bruised.
