from MR STEPHEN
do you
know who James Bond is they
gave him a new car
I don’t like it
it does
not look good the
roof it’s too
the roof is too
(hands
moving over his
head to my hip)
it’s
too high up
did
you know that elephants have
high
heels made of actual flesh
right
inside of their shoes
that
emoji is soap not a square brain
Mr Stephen is gay not a woman
Mr Stephen is the King of Baby
Scissors not the king of me, Ethan
Mr O’Brien is a poet but he isn’t Kenneth Koch
fighting
games are fun for home not here
he means
that elephants have hooves not
shoes
the
actual foot inside is shaped uncannily like that of an adult woman in heels
aftercare
is for safety not
help
Mr Stephen is a poet not
a teacher
heels
styled like pumps
Mr Stephen is a writer like Mr O’Brien Mr
Stephen’s mom was in a movie
Mr Stephen doesn’t know my name does
Mr O’Brien live there in your house
Mr Stephen when’s my lesson Mr Steve is my lesson today
Mr Stephen cannot do a handstand Mr Stephen can’t do a back walkover
Mr Stephen cannot do a cartwheel Mr Stephen hates the gym door
Mr Stephen won’t show us his book Mr Stephen don’t let us run down there
Mr Stephen lets us trade food Mr Stephen made my mom mad
about
the Hunger Games When she asked
he laughed and said it was
appropriate for all ages
My hat
is something
My
gloves can be something
This is
something Mr Stephen? No
No, you say:
She
only let Vasilisa have a little
bit
of sturgeon
No, you
say:
but for herself, she
gobbled up
every last bit Just sleep, Vasilisa
You
can figure it out in the morning
How
about I didn’t say that
no
no, she swept how
how about
how
about it’s when the black rider passes
Wait, what is your name
No, you have to say:
As night
came on, light came out of the skull
You say:
How about
you How about I will
I think
there should be a narrator
It will
be you except in scenes you’re in
It can be just our jackets
No, she
had unbraided hair
We can have it That light isn’t on
Her sister
