[21st M03] Apo on the Wall by Bj Patino
APO ON THE WALL
- There’s this man’s photo on the wall
- Of my father’s office at home, you
- Know, where father brings his work,
- Where he doesn’t look strange
- Still wearing his green uniform
- And colored breast plates, where,
- To prove that he works hard, he
- Also brought a photo of his boss
- Whom he calls Apo, so Apo could
- You know, hang around on the wall
- Behind him and look over his shoulders
- To make sure he’s snappy and all.
- Father snapped at me once, caught me
- Sneaking around his office at home
- Looking at the stuff on his wall- handguns,
- Plaques, a sword, medals a rifle-
- Told me that was no place for a boy
- Only men, when he didn’t really
- Have to tell me because, you know,
- That photo of Apo on the wall was already
- Looking at me around,
- His eyes following me like he was
- That scary Jesus in the hallway, saying
- I know what you’re doing.
