Attention
Is it her?
(It cannot be) avert your gaze
That jutted
jaw-line and the same bare legs
Do your
chink and tangle ugly bits amaze?
My loner
moon amongst a crowd of stars begs
Words
Socratic, words messianic
Your
slapdash words go a long way here
Words
delivered to prevent a panic
Whispered
gently like the doleful air
The
unconventional is to me conventional
They tied me
up last night with his will
Is it
conventional to be conventional?
Puddle-jump
highways and byways still!
