My friend Jeannie


is cooler than Natalie Portman. Jeannie writes poems. She is in the MFA program with Gabe at UMass. Here is an example. Here are others.
Natalie Portman is smarter than I
She has a mole on her left cheek
I have a mole on my left cheek
They are called beauty marks
and we both have them
She is in movies. I saw
Mel Gibson getting into a car
across from the Post Office
She doesn't love my cat
the way I love my cat and
she doesn't know my middle name
I don't know hers but I could easily find it
Natalie Portman speaks five languages
That's not me
I don't know how she feels about Starbucks
but when I'm out of town
sometimes I patronize Starbucks
