here is! koala noise

Really I could have done without the final scenarios in six ft under.
But it's a classical finale with definitely no sequel.


in the eighties a lebanese family moved to our city.
the son became my brother's friend.
they could keep up with eachother in math.
the daughter was sharp and pretty
and tried to be invisible.
they invited us to dinner at their house.
the mom made delicious food with garlic and lemon.
the dad mowed the lawn in his underwear.
these kids at school made some fliers, pretending to be the son,
saying he was having a party,
saying all these things as if he was racist.
many people came by the house,
and then the police came.
the weirdest rumor was that someone threw cornflakes in the yard
and that it's supposed to ruin your lawnmower.
later the awkardness.
i used to think it was all about the son being too smart
but now i think people couldn't handle the underwear thing,
everyone knew about it, and otherwise why take it out on the lawn?
