She is the definition of grunge.
(See the 1st Urban Dictionary Definition)
You see her more down the street at the thrift store than in class.
She looks through the clothes with leopard spots to polka dots
You say that polka dots remind you of kindergarten
She says she looking for escape back to simpler times
You laugh but the look in her eyes say this is not a joke
You look away
She used to talk about the world as if everything thing was a possiblity
Said that everything was a result of When Parallel Lines Intertwine
You took her out across the darkness where the bomberjets fly
She told you along the way her Theory on God
She said to you the cobra spit over apocalyptic cult killer cauldron smoke
You will sit dazed and confused
Her world makes no sense
She tells you she worships A Really Big Duck
You will nod and agree
She scolds you for biting back your words
She hates this type of Apartment Mentality
So you nod and agree again and she is angry but also confused
You laugh
She laughs
She tells you that the world is going to crash
You say that we are all just Bleeding Hearts And Long Winged Birds
She will nod and agree
Who cares if they burn?
Not you and certainly not her

This is just a series on the the people in my class and the things about them I notice.
7/13
You did a really great job of capturing Katie!! My favorite so far.
I love this one so much. You captured both the nature of Katie, and the nature of her poetry in one wrapped up piece and I think that’s incredibly cool. I always look forward to this series. Hopefully, you’ll be able to post them all before school ends. (This might be a stupid hope because I actually don’t know how many weeks there are in school left. There could be twelve or fifty and I wouldn’t know.) Regardless, keep it up:)
I can really feel Katie in this! That’s scary and great all at the same time! Great job!
This is rad, bud. Thank you for taking the tine to do this. Perfectly captures how strange I am, I think. Much love, bro.
Grungey-grandma I think would be more appropriate, but otherwise, great post.
