 The Poetry of David Hart

Prose Hose and Sprinkler Fsbof Jsty part 3


ProseHose and Sprinkler by fsbof jsty
 
He used to get
 sick to his
stomach riding
in cars.

They called
it car sick
or car sickness
and they would
push the dramamine
 tablets
in his mouth.
 He also got
sick in class
 because two
students from
the same family
 would rarely
bathe and also
it was rumoured
 that they had
cooties or lice
 at least and
that also would
turn his stomach
sour.

Then there was
 the sawdust poured
 over students who
would puke in class.
That smell always
 seemed to linger.

 One black and white
 dressed frocked nun made
Dex knell in the
corridor where
all the students
 went from one
 class to the other
 just because he
laughed in class.
He was not fond of
that penguin for
 the remaining time
 in that school.
She also brutally
 smashed down on
the tops of his
hands with a yard
ruler and one time
 broke the ruler
being she enjoyed
 a sadistic session
 with the young
boys on a
regular basis.

There wasn't alot
do on a house
boat--sit on the
 upper deck,
ring for tea and
cookies or
summon the
servants for
a bath to be
drawn or a
time to prepare
 a lunch or
a dinner.

Dex would read a
 thick book on
the top deck when
 the weather
permitted.
In India that
 was usually every day.

Sometimes they would
 row him into the
area where the stores
 were to buy Coca Cola
 or 35 mm film.
