Однажды на желтом листке в зеленую линейку
он написал стих
И озаглавил "Волчок"
потому что так звалась его собака
И это было важней всего
И учитель поставил ему высший балл
и наградой стала золотая звездочка
А мать повесила стих на кухонную дверь
чтобы читать родным
В тот год пастор Трейси
повез ребят в зоопарк
И в автобусе позволил им петь
А сестра появился на свет
с крошечным ноготком и без волос.
И мать с отцом без устали целовались
И девочка что жила за углом прислала ему
валентинку подписанную буквами "икс"
Пришлось спросить у отца
какой в этом смысл
А перед сном отец заходил поправить ему одеяло
не пропустив ни единого раза
Однажды на белом листке в голубую линейку
он написал стих
И озаглавил "Осень"
потому что так звалось время года
И это было важней всего
И учитель поставил ему высший балл
посоветовав не мудрить
А мать не повесила стих на кухонную дверь
чтобы не испортить свежую краску
И ребята ему рассказали
что пастор Трейси курить сигареты
Оставляя на церковных скамьях окурки
Которые местами прожгли древесину
В тот год сестра
стала носить толстые очки в черной оправе
И девочки что жила за углом посмеялась когда
он пригласил ее посмотреть Санта-Клауса
И ребята ему рассказали почему
мать с отцом без устали целуется
И перед сном отец никогда не заходил
поправить ему одеяло
И разозлился
когда он его за этим позвал.
Однажды на вырванном из блокнота листке
он написал стих
И озаглавил "Невинность: вопрос"
потому что вопрос был насчет его девушки
и это было важней всего
И профессор поставил ему высший балл
и наградой стал пристальный взгляд
А мать не повесила стих на кухонную дверь
потому что о нем не узнала
В тот год скончался пастор Трейси
И он забыл, как заканчивается
Апостольский символ веры
И застукал сестру
с кем-то на заднем крыльце
И мать с отцом никогда не целовались
и даже не говорили друг другу ни слова
А девочка что жила за углом густо красилась
И он из-за этого кашлял от каждого поцелуя
И все равно ее целовал
потому что так полагалось
И в три часа ночи сам поправил себе одеяло
под мирный отцовский храп
Вот почему на обороте бумажного пакета
он взялся писать совсем другой стих
и озаглавил "Абсолютная пустота"
Это, собственно, и было важней всего
Он поставил себе высший балл
а наградой черт побери
стал косой штрих на каждом запястье
И все это он повесил на дверь ванной
потому что в тот раз
не надеялся добраться до кухни
Литература
Кто-нибудь может найти стихотворение из книги "Хорошо быть тихоней" Стивена Чбоски в оригинале (английском языке)?
“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 that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to 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 a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a
Valentine signed 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 that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
And the kids told him
that Father 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 her to go see Santa Claus
And the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
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 that's 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 Apostle's 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 too 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 soundly
That's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because that's 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 didn't think
he could reach the kitchen.”
