Crank (Crank 1)

Seeming and being are

two different things. You

seem nice, too, Mommy dearest.

Anyway, did you find some clothes?

I showed her what I

bought, and she grinned

a killer smile.

At least you’re consistent.

I had to laugh, speeding

along with the monster.

Consistent? Not!

Inconsistent Me

could barely look at dinner.

I told Mom I ate at the mall.

What?

What, what?

What exactly did you get?

Quick, Kristina, think.

“Stir-fry. You know,

fast food Chinese.”

Did you eat all your veggies?

OMG! Here I was, busting

my brain on first-class speed,

and all she cared about was if

I’d consumed my greens?

’Cause you can’t stay smart

eating only junk food.

Stay smart? First I had

to get smart, and it

wasn’t about to happen
