It's Me



Ian
The eldest of 8
30 waist 34 length (pants)
Hair like a porcupine
Monkey ears

My sister's name is Daphne
My look alike is Jesse
Levi is next
Followed by sallow faced bright eyed Meredith
Meredith was the youngest until Gideon
Portia became the baby Until
Wyatt

I adore siblings (sometimes)
diving in the ocean is unbeatable
and the idea of life after death is essential

I feel
like a string bean strung tight
like a cat purring near the fire
like a chauffeur

Who gives 
occasional compliments
sarcastic remarks
his all, sometimes

Who fears
Up chucking into a toilet bowl
being bowled over by an avalanche
after being mauled by a bear

Who would like to see
The mysterious ocean floor
The bloody Colloseum
The boundless barrier reefs

Who lives
Among chaotic youngers
While spouting laughter like a beached whale
With 3 meals 4 snacks a day

Boggess

  1. I like listening to The Piano Guys too! I also like bread. I actually made three batches today (the last one is in the oven). I like what you put about having candy on hand when baby-sitting :) And I don't like throwing up either :P

  2. Getting an A- is one of my fears too... But I am learning how to have fun and get 4.0 at the same time, so we should procrastinate SOMETIMES but NOT too long! Anyways, life is not about stressing out but stretching out! like your poem!
