From a child's lost homework
found in the bushes in my front yard:
i'm malaysia, malaysia malone, an
i don' like when my dad don' call
to see if we're doin' good in school.
my dad he gived me my name,
he said i'm smooth like china sea
but he hurt my feelin's a lot.
my dad is a dead b dad.
on fridays he don' call.
fridays is the day my dad's
sposed to come, but
he don' no more.
my sister, we sit outside.
we wait. we tie kicks. we sing songs.
i'm almost six. my dad don' come
no more.
my dad make me feel like i don'
wanna to talk to my dad no more.
my mom she yell. she say
my daddy a fool. i don' know
bout that stuff. bout how he
do his time and mess with
rocks an other wimens.
i don' like when my dad
don' want me and my sister.

he squeeze her knees.
i don' like when my dad
don' want us in his house.
i don' like when my
dad don' have a house.
