At Cool Matt's House (Age 13)
Jason Henry Simon-Bierenbaum His mom isn't home yet. The internet
has been learning to offer up boobs if you ask nice. There in that first one the girl sits on a staircase, open legged with nothing but a sax and its leather strap. Her tongue teases the tip. Of all the afternoon's naked ladies, she's the one we keep returning to, puzzled wondering, why that sax? Why not us, her legs wrapping our bodies, doing that thing we've heard called blowing – some sweet music older boys boast about. |
Jason Henry Simon-Bierenbaum first proclaimed he wanted
to write when he was six. He started writing regularly when he was
thirteen, and has been invited to read at the Dodge Poetry Festival, the
New Jersey Hip Hop Action Summit, and has been a national slam champion
as part of the Philly Youth Slam Team. Currently he’s in the UMass Boston poetry MFA program while making his
living as a teaching artist at various places (Institute of Contemporary
Art, Urbano Project, Harvard) and Arts Organizer (MassLEAP, organizing
the statewide Louder than a Bomb Youth Poetry Slam Festival). He does
his best to take nothing for granted.
