Little Boy Blue~A Poem by NoneOfYourBusiness akaKITTY KUTABAREakaCandyPole~written in 1984~Someday I would like To stop picking pieces of you Out of my back pockets Every time I reach for a dime; You were so fond of writing Notes In class Slipping them down the back of my shirt Some boys were happy with snapping bra straps But not you You wrote a thousand fairy tales Between Algebra And History We were lucky to be at the back Of the class Though we were at the head of maturation Fighters Justice branded by the lack of experiencing it We made our own justice Sister Mary wished us gone I think that’s why They kept us skipping grades And here comes the shift Little boy blue Man on the beat Officer down Town riddled with bullets In your holster they found a short story I patched my Siouxsie and the Banshees t shirt With your words And wore your poetry over my heart For decades Someday I would like to stop by your grave And plant the stories In the earth With flowers But all I do is kneel And find more pieces of you In my back pockets
