I SAW TAO LIN DRUNK

WE WERE IN WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK
WHICH WE DID FREQUENTLY
DRINKING BEERS
AND SPARKS
TAO SAID
"WHAT IS SPARKS?"
I SAID
"ITS AWESOME"
SO WE DRANK SOME SPARKS
AND TAO LIKED IT
AND BECAME QUIET
AND HE SMILED A LOT
WE SAT IN THE FOUNTAIN
AND TALKED ABOUT THE RATS
BENEATH US
THEN I WALKED TAO
ACROSS THE STREET
TO THE LIBRARY
AND HE BALANCED
BOTH OUR EMPTY SPARKS
CANS
ON HIS PALMS
WITH HIS BACK PACK ON HIS HEAD
AND HE SAID
"I FEEL SO CALM"
AND I SAID
"ME TOO"
AND WE SMILED AT EACH OTHER
AND HE WENT INTO THE LIBRARY
AND I WENT HOME
I TALKED TO MY MOM
SHE SAID
"TAO SOUNDS LIKE AN ODD DUCK"
AND I SAID
"YES. I LIKE HIM"
