- 1. Chewing Gum Kenya OLPC Team Sandra Thaxter
- 2. LIFE FALLS APART It happens when I my nervous, when I am tired, or even when I am having my greatest and deepest thoughts, like that long drag on the cigarette that we don’t get anymore.
- 3. If only they were stuck to me!! Aaargh! What happened to my my glasses!! I can’t find my cell phone.
- 4. It’s a Poetry Talk When I’m nervous, tired, out of sorts Or having my most awesome thoughts I put it there, somewhere, my cell phone and then my glasses!!
- 5. Soo bad..my image is slammed Humbled to helpless hopelessness – be dammed.
- 6. Chewing gum: I am working it A soft sweet lump between my teeth Sticky: stick that stays and stays Its ways of staying we’ll never know Years later we see it on sidewalks, on the chair, Under school desks, on the street everywhere.
- 7. It’s never far away, Just keep it in my mouth all day. A flip of the tongue, slap to the back of the phone And stick it there – to my belt, the wall, my vinyl purse. I won’t forget. The juicy sweet seeping into my mouth The wad of gum, feeding my hungry anxiety.
- 8. So I know where I put the phone Or my glasses, stuck to my arm, or collar bone What would I do without my phone And glasses to see whose home Another piece of gum will do, can’t get enough To be the glue that keeps my life stuck together Gramma – What is that funny thing stuck on your head?
