A line from Rocky Dennis [Poem]

These things are good: ice cream and cake, a ride on a Harley, seeing monkeys on a tree, the rain on my tongue, and the sun shining on my face. These things are a drag: dust on my hair, holes in my shoes, no money in my pocket, and the sun shining on my face.

Don't worry, Mr. Simms. I look weird, but otherwise I'm real normal. Everything will be cool. Thanks a lot. See you next week.

[smashing some plates]

I hate you going out every night and coming home wasted all the time!

It's none of your goddamn business!

Rocky Dennis

You're my mother!

Well, you're not my warden!

Eric
[after Rocky gave an impressive speech on how the Trojan War started]

That wasn't bad, Dennis. How about you tutor me?

Rocky Dennis

Tutor you?

Eric

Yeah, Cooley almost failed me last year.

Rocky Dennis

OK, but it will cost you three bucks an hour.

Eric
[surprised]

Three bucks?

Rocky Dennis
[The classroom falls silent and looks back at the two because of the sudden outburst]

Hey, I don't work for free.

Eric
[kinda tense]

It's a deal.

Gar

Rocky, you mom sometimes does the wrong things, but for the right reasons.

Rocky Dennis

You always stick up to her, Gar, and then she pisses you off, and you split. Then you come back.

Rocky Dennis

What's his problem, mom?

Nothing. He just another asshole. You let that negative dreck in and it'll put you away. You can be a chicken shit and die or be a mensch and keep makin' yourself well.

Rocky Dennis

Grandma! Grandpa! How are you?

Abe Dennis

Doing great Rocky. [Checks out Rocky's baseball card collection of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers] Your team is good, but I have always said the backbone of a good team is a...center fielder! [presents Rocky with the rare baseball card he had been searching a long time for]

Rocky Dennis

Hey! Thanks so much!

Diana

Rocky? That is an unusual name.

Rocky

Actually, my true name is Roy. Rocky is just a nickname my mother gave me.

Diana

How did she decide on that?

Rocky

Easy. From the song. Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetops! She said it would not sleep unless I did a lot of rocking!

Diana

Rocky, let me feel you.[senses Rocky's face]

Rocky

My mom always told me I was a lion in my past life, but I did not completely leave my old body for this one!
