Chihuahuii• Show poetry

I moved out of Ohio by myself last January. My family is still there, but I'm in a boarding school in Napa. Also I'm black (African-American, if you're a prude). I'm the ONLY black kid at my school, and perhaps the entire city.

I treasure my family and friends more than anything in the world. The friends thing is ironic, though, because I have four friends that I talk to all the time, and I don't even bother to talk to anybody else. That's because when you at least ONE good friend who loves you and enjoys your presence, who needs more?

I like foxes and phoenixes and Twizzlers and computers and French vanilla cappuccino. I dislike pop magazines and long car rides and group gossip that lasts over ten minutes.

    Thanks again, Dave!

    It's good to know I didn't fly radically off-topic like I tend to do. I guess because this one had a purpose right from the start.

    And about slamming political incorrect poetry...where I'm living, it seems like being politically incorrect makes you a jewel. People here like it when you bare your soul. They like it when someone (not everyone, though) gets offended. And I feel like if I read something like this, which I've been meaning to get off my chest forEVER, I might earn a couple extra points for honesty and courage. Maybe.

    Great, fellow Ohioan!

    It's amazing how different our experiences can be even if we've lived in the same place. I used to live in Columbus before I moved out to California, and one of the biggest differences is that California is hilly while Columbus is very flat. So I found it interesting that the area of Ohio in which you stayed had hills.

    And yet our spots in Ohio are kinda the same--Broad Street, specifically, spans out for miles and miles, stretches out beyond Columbus. I've never seen the end of it.

    So, in case you couldn't tell, I especially liked the stanza that begins with "those roads and those hills". Thank you for writing this poem
