Broken slouchiness,
Smiling from outside the spine,
Sit up straight for once.
This night. Black as pitch.
Doom from inside me wells up.
Pray I don't get egged.
Rapping at the door.
Fills up agèd pillow case.
So sick of Smarties.
A butt for a face.
Little brother: dork, dork, dork.
Stay out of my room.
Computer over?
Virus equals very yes?!
That's not a good prize!
