      under the broken leg post on her bed

      so her dreams won’t slant.

      REPLACEMENT DREAMS

      When you have a kid

      dreams are replaced

      by dirty diapers.

      When you do have time

      to dream, you usually

      get woken up by crying,

      sometimes your own tears,

      sometimes tears of your child.

      All of my dreams got pushed

      to the backseat, next

      to the car seat.

      Things like being the first

      person in my family

      to go to college.

      To be the one who finally

      gets off public housing and food stamps.

      To be the one who doesn’t

      grow up and be a burnout.

      To be something,

      or at least be seen

      as something.

      My dreams have the best

      chance of coming true now

      through Maddy.

      I dream she can have a real life,

      and not whatever this thing is that I’m living.

      A NUMBER’S GAME

      Money is not easy

      to come by. I wonder

      what having the lights

      on for the entire month would be like.

      How hard could it be?

      Guys do it all the time right?

      That hit and run stuff. I just

      need to leave my feelings at home.

      I just need to think more like a guy

      like my father did

      with me

      and not have love be part of sex.

      I could stack up the

      money

      faster, get Maddy

      out of the projects, out of Somerville.

      It’s just sex, right?

      Jobs are hard to come by these days.

      I would be stupid if I didn’t at least try.

      I WON’T MISS YOU, SLUMERVILLE

      I’m going to get

      up out of this place, and I

      don’t care how many

      nasty men I have

      to bang, and blow to save enough

      cash and get out of

      Somerville

      for good.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
