Tucker Jones
English I 4th
Fireworks
You might think I’m just
a fifteen year old guy
with brown-blonde hair
and blue eyes.
But I know I’m more
way more than that
not a train or paintbrush
nor a shoe or or boat.
I’m Fireworks
a suspenseful cracker
when I’m depressed
or hungry,
when I go home and sulk and try to watch my favorite show
I’m a firecracker
fizzling out
no “oohh’s”,& aahh’s”
wanting to part the party that bought cheap fireworks.
But when I get my explosive face on
my roman candles shoot up
and whistles are louder than ever
and the sparklers are beaming with joy
The Grand Finale goes up and BOOM
The Fourth of July ends
I take a whiff of air and repeat my process on New Years
then on the Fourth
then on New Years
The brown -blond haired, blue eyed guy
is Fireworks
a suspenseful ,explosive, Grand Finale all in one BOOM.
