Dust mop
This story requires some exposition, so here goes
My friend, let's call her Mary
Because her name actually is Mary, works for Teach Tor America
She teaches at Todd County Middle School
On the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota
And she has asked us
Us being me and my girlfriend, name given upon request
To teach a poetry workshop for her kids
Great, with that out of the way, I would like to now say this
I've been reading Sherman Alexie's poems for a few years now
And he talks a lot about how Indian kids love basketball
I, being a good, progressive, liberal, socialist, opponent of colonialism
Wanted to assume nothing about Indian kids and basketball but
Then they asked me to play some five-on-five, so
I will say that these nine Indian kids can ball
Humility is getting shook on by a four-foot-eleven boy
Who is 11 years your junior
I tore my shirt trying to block Dante
And that is the extent of what I have lost to native Americans
This story requires some exposition, so here goes
My friend, let's call her Mary
Because her name actually is Mary, works for Teach Tor America
She teaches at Todd County Middle School
On the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota
And she has asked us
Us being me and my girlfriend, name given upon request
To teach a poetry workshop for her kids
Great, with that out of the way, I would like to now say this
I've been reading Sherman Alexie's poems for a few years now
And he talks a lot about how Indian kids love basketball
I, being a good, progressive, liberal, socialist, opponent of colonialism
Wanted to assume nothing about Indian kids and basketball but
Then they asked me to play some five-on-five, so
I will say that these nine Indian kids can ball
Humility is getting shook on by a four-foot-eleven boy
Who is 11 years your junior
I tore my shirt trying to block Dante
And that is the extent of what I have lost to native Americans
