scenario #1
he smiled a lot because he wanted
to be like mister rogers.
he wanted to say things simply
and slowly. wanted to be recorded
and watched over and over by kids
and parents who care for things like
balanced meals and public television.
but he wasn't good at practicing. he was
ambitious but lazy. full of ideas but disorganized.
he opened canned food but never saved
what he didn't finish.
made meals that lasted for days, but cooked
only twice a week.
they found him in the park with a blanket
iced tea and a book of proverbs
"looking for grasshoppers."
