500 Fingernails

when you recognize the vulnerability in your handwriting
 visible to all on a broadway autoroll
 lamp post, dead drum, phone home, why,
 with broken lasso the P's hid,
 the H is humped so undefined
 he Y so noncommittal then you will know
 that you have still the fat face fresh fate
 sixth grader fitted pro model red's cap size six and seven eighths
 you will know that you are still the kid sitting quietly
 (my face was just a smear on the page)
 on the creased vinyl green seat bus
 i'm the same straight faced fat kid (five hundred, five hundered) fingernails later
 i'm the same straight faced fat kid (five hundred, five hundered) fingernails later
 fat faced critic in the rear view mirror
 cutthroat pubert in the rearview
 giving you the evil eye, giving you the evil eye
 i'm the same straight faced fat kid 500 fingernails later
