Jehangir The Dork
By Jehangir Saleh
Written: January 14, 2006

grade nine
the popular kids
drove around in BMW’s
with seatbelts made of lead

I corresponded with an ethical slut
who figured out that I was a lonely vampire
trying so hard to be a super-hero
to save her from it all
but alas,
she was sent a convent in India
and forgot to tell me

none of this made sense
back then
little does now

I’m still lonely
but I’ve given up the vampire bit
It’s just easier to be a dork
