The video game
he shoots and scores
killing 12
a new winner
highest score
He goes to the fridge
it has
chemical milk
hormone yogurt
He looks in the closet
and finds himself a Kellogg rice crispy
unwraps the plastic
throw it in the trash
and goes to watch his favorite program
till mom calls for dinner
proud, high, and dosed.
A different boy
In front of a lake
shading his eyes against the suns
reflection on the water
Listening to the crickets
pausing
just for a second
before making a mad dash
for the inside of the
fresh, cold
deep
plunging
in joy.
Proud , high, dosed
