APO ON THE WALL
by Bj Patino

                                                            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
