I am
being the boy. I am creative and
dyslexic.
Adults say,
"the boy is creative. He is creative with his spelling and his is
dyslectic."
I write QRXZ on my unfinished homework paper to remember the
sound: queers.
I venture a walk home from school. The cracker fisherman down by the
canal says to me,
"Nice picture kid, I not much into drawing, show it to them damn qrxz
in that house there. (I look across the canal). QRXZ like then like
art. They buy and sell it."
No person, no person than me, knows what I make QRXZ to mean. I
declare my life a boy.
I am the boy. -qrxz boy
the boy loves the erotic tales
about the naked adults
