• and now i must make one about what i don’t like

  i don’t like wet socks

  or ice toes pushed against me

  or leaving warm covers

  on cold mornings

   

  i don’t like air conditioning

  or cold churches

  or wasted money

  making cold churches

  on hot mornings

   

  i don’t like people who make fun

  when i laugh loudly

  or forget to laugh

  or laugh at the wrong time

   

  i don’t like chocolate or liver

  or coke because it gives me headaches

  i don’t like the Golden Corral in Greenwood

  because they were racist

   

  i don’t like not saying what i feel

  because i am scared

  or doubting what is right

  or wondering if the wrong doesn’t have a good point

   

  i don’t like questions that don’t have answers

  or problems without solutions

  i don’t like waiting for good things that should happen

  or hearing that bad things happened instead

   

  i don’t like holding babies

  or talking on the phone

  i don’t like jokes made at other people’s expense

  because if you will do it to them

  then you would do it to me

   

  i don’t like rich people

  or people who are too beautiful to talk to

  without my mouth dropping open

  or mechanics

  they intimidate me
