Teen Jibberish .
“She was like in his face.
Most bodd, very bodd
Ending r’lationship.
Cussing, f~~king
Obsceene.
Like whatever.
Yaknow”
Listener, boy, fifteen
Throws an oyster gob (spit).
Right at the feet of an Old Gramma.
Next to them on the Bus.
Woman looks down, pauses.
Looks around for some sane
Adult to share the phenomenon.
Disgusted.
Fifteen year old cusses
Profusely, and in strange combinations.
“Totally wicked, Girl.
Fu~~ing mad-bad.
Insanely good. Girl.
Tanks.”
Yeah, insanely, children…
Spoken like a couple of
Toads. Content similar.
Note: second stanza I observed in real life on a late afternoon bus, full of high school kids. Spit. Gramma.
