I tried the new Kleenex
You know! The kind with the lotion

My mother, youngish, in shorts and tee

She said, 'You must have an awful lot of time on your hands'
Then would I not have what is most valuable on my hands?
And then I want to flick the ticking seconds from my fingers

sweetly donning dark of day
in glimmer of shadows
and sun strewn through
the wind of trees

I need them to see my bones
in glass jars,
bone-on-glass-sounds as they rattle me

Next to sticky, cracked egg shells long stuck

Jason Bouthillier Biography

I was born in Florida, and I reside in a small, rural fishing and drinking town named Steinhatchee. I see the ocean nearly every day, and I dream of catching fish from my boat. I have four unique children, and an equally unique wife. I like the way the wind affects the water of the Steinhatchee river mouth that leads out to the open ocean, and it reminds me of poetry. Sometimes it's rough or smooth, and sometimes there's a light chop.)

The Best Poem Of Jason Bouthillier

Kleenex

I tried the new Kleenex
You know! The kind with the lotion
and I made that familiar blowing motion

I felt relieved,
my nose was clear
Then why was my life still so drear?

Then it hit me!
It had started to run
So I reached for the box and snatched another one

Then I blew it again
and did so with a clap
then my nose fell off and plopped in my lap

My nose scampered off
onto the floor
and made no pause as it headed for the door

But the door was closed
as it soon found, for it
bumped into the door and made a sneezing sound!

Now it was really running
all around my place
So I screamed at it, 'Get back on my face! '

It jumped back on my face
and said this as it did,
'Why pick me? Use new Kleenex instead! '
