Doug is one of the original Nicktoons celebrating their 25th anniversary during Nicktoons Month!
It isn’t that your friends don’t like you
but sometimes they don’t like the way
you defer to those people called
your parents who sometimes
are called your teachers and you
pretend not to like the girl with mayonnaise
in her name because your best friend does
and this girl says everything is
a poem, or sometimes you think she
sounds like a poem because she is
built like the house your best friend
destroyed by throwing a stone because NBD
because windows show us that we’re all
dying and if we’re dying sooner rather
than later, all the fish and all our moms
will be quivering dark like crystalline guitars
jamming to all the other lost moms
like the girl’s mom you never met and you
want to tell her it’s OK, that as much as you
love her, she has to get used to being alone.
