Corn



There were these two boys, brothers
known as Gimp and Stripling
One of them was actually crippled
you can guess who and the other
was really not that young and
they lived together in a house
a small house on the corner of Main
and Willow Creek then one night
tired of being mocked by Stripling
Gimp shot him in the head while
Stripling was popping corn so that
the neighbors wouldn't hear a gunshot he thought
the sheriff found Gimp by his brother's body
head blown, pool of blood and all, eating
a big bowl of freshly popped popcorn and 
that was that. Not far from their house
lived another boy, went by the name Capote
I'm guessing not because of the writer and
coincidence or not this boy was a sissy and
somewhat retarded, maladjusted, maladroit
died of pneumonia past winter and the town
folks thought weird of the boy's passing
and dumped his body by a corn field

Sick


A fumaça levanta de cada xícara
em cada mesa, ao mesmo tempo.
Coisas acontecem o tempo todo,
coisas acontecem a todo minuto
coisas que não tem nada a ver conosco
