What you can do for an A
- I wrote this while doing a poetry class at the New School. I love an American education.
The following I wrote in about ten minutes. My professor must have met Will, because she gave me an A. If anyone out there is struggling for grades, do Liberal Arts degree in the States. You literally cannot go wrong.
I killed my brother
I killed my brother
By pushing
A very small, pointed piece of metal into
A gap in his head. Fantastic.
The point was just a tiny little thing on the end
Of something much larger, much more fantastic.
I killed my sister with cancer,
The moment I wrote that she was born
I didn’t have to think about it for very long,
For the moment I did, she was dead.
I killed my parents the moment I was born.
My children will do the same to me.
