'Murican (Imitation #5) Levi Kyllo

'Murican

On this most perfect American couch
I sit, beer in hand, watching some football.
A day to thank God for the easy living.
Relax, watch the cheerleaders, let's go Jets.
Weekend finally here, it's time to chillax.
I've got nothing to worry about.
Sleeping in no longer a problem
My mind naturally floats to football heaven.
I've learned so much about football over the years,
It's crazy how it all just sticks.
Why can't school be like this?
Wanting to learn more plays and moves
To be the best Madden gamer ever.
If I could transfer my interests
To something useful (like school),
I just imagine how my daily routines,
Let alone my study habits, would change.
Say hello to that 4.0, Harvard possibly.
Brain surgeon, cancer-solver,
World hunger stumper.

This Most Perfect Hill

by Lisa Jarnot

On this most perfect hill
with these most perfect dogs
are these most perfect people
and this most perfect fog
In this most perfect fog
that is the middle of the sea
inside the perfect middle of
the things inside that swing
In this most perfect rhyme
that takes up what it sees,
with perfect shelter from the
rain as perfect as can be,
In this most perfect day
at the apex of the sun
runs this most perfect
frog song that is roiling
from the mud
In these most perfect habits
of the waving of the trees,
through this imperfect language
rides a perfect brilliancy.
