The guy that drew the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner Cartoon
He was probably often ridiculously sad
like all of us get sometimes
drinking a beer looking at a yellow wall
and then he would spend endless hours
at a drawing desk drawing cels
that slowly moved the Coyote
closer to some inevitable cartoon cliff edge or fake mountain tunnel
to some hilarious not-death
and that was his job
Oyster No. 1
The first person
To ever eat
An oyster
Was probably
Also
The first person
To eat a rock
School
I was walking
To the purple school
The purple school
Was far away
And small
And as I walked
The school
Never grew
And I started to run
Still
The school never grew
It was after midnight
And I was late for school
And I’m 36.
