Susie's Song (edit)

[billy]

short and really likable. some good images. Japanese milky wonder is excellent. and the karaoke meme of the Japanese is also captured really well. one of those poems that works well without written punctuation. nicely done.

Susie's Song


we were playing a card game
sat in those awful plastic chairs
you kept leaning forward in yours
splashing all that Japanese milky wonder
in my eyes
 
I'd put some Beatles on a loop
figuring they were universal
you clapped 
and bobbed your head
shouting 'Ob-la-di-ob-la-da'
in perfect English
