my apologies to E.B. White

my grammar
skills
are weak, pathetic at best.
i couldn't diagram
a sentence
with a penicil poised
to stab me
in the eye.
my punctuation
is laughable,
spelling
atrocious at times.
but i push
onward
despite myself, despite
all the books i've read
and all the English
classes i sat through
doodling
or pulling
on the girl's hair
in front of me, hoping
one day
she would be mine.
