Question

once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines he wrote a poem.

and he called it "chops"

because that was the name of his dog, and thats what it was all about.

and his teacher gave him an A and a gold star.

and his mother hung it on the kitchen wall

and read it to all his aunts

that was the year father tracy

took all the kids to the zoo.

and he let them sing on the bus

and his little sister was born

with tiny toenails and no hair

and his mother and father kissed alot

and the girl around the corner sent him a

valentine with a row of X's

and he had to ask his father what the X's meant

and his father always tucked him in bed at night

and was always there to do it

once on a piece of white paper with blue lines

he wrote a poem

and he called it "autumn"

because that was the name of the season

and thats what is was it was all about

and his teacher gave him an A

and asked him to write more clearly

and his mom never hung it on thekichen door

because of its new paint

and the kids told him

that faher tracy smoked cigars

and left butts on the pews

and sometimes they would burn holes

that was the year his sister got glasses

with thick lenses and black frames

and the girl around the corner laughed

when he asked er to go see santa claus

and the kids told him why

his mother and father kissed alot

and his father never tucked him in bed at night

and his father got mad

when he cried for him to do it

once on a paper torn from his notebook

he wrote a poem

and he called it " innocence:a question"

because that was the question about his girl

and thatts what it was all about

and his professor gave him an A

and a strange steady look

and his mother never hung it on the kitchen door

because he never showed her

that was the year that father tracy died

and he forgot how the end

of the apostles creed went

and he caught his sister

making out on the back porch

and his mother and father never kissed

or even talked

and the girl around the corner

wore to much makeup

that made him cough when he kissed her

but he kissed her anyway

because that was the thing to do

and at three A.M. he tucked himself into bed

his father snoring loudly

thats why on thr back of a brown paper bag

he tried another poem

and he called it "absolutely nothing"

because thats what it was really all about

and he gave himself an A

and a slash on each damned wrist

and he hung it on the bathroom door

because this time he didnt think

he could reach the kitchen

Answer 3

Aww.

Yeah, I think it's about suicide. It makes sense if you read it closely.

Answer 4

yes, your friend's right. the last stanza is very clear about that.

it is a very touching poem - a person looking for love & appreciation, unable to adjust to growing up & the changes involved therein - still living / expecting the little pleasures of childhood....
