"I just killed a man for his potato wedges."
-Rocco "Ricky" Botte


That cow is staring at me,
the one with the babies.
Those don't look like babies.
They look like little people.

Children don't know what
awkward means.
They just stare at you.

It makes me want to
push their heads down
through
the soft dirt with my foot so I
can only see their little feet
kicking about.

At work, I had to watch some kids ride some petal tractors for 6 hours, and they wouldn't stop staring at me.
