that boy's grudge

i saw him
coming out of the
yellow building
take my nearsightedness,
my lighting up a cigarette,
his sexually based grudges -
i acted otherwise

hey boy, have i hurt you somehow?
what's all this shit about?
i thought it'd been done with
what are you, some
Prince of Baghdad?
did I leave a stain on
your rug?

need. need. now.
i know. come if we have
the same. either way,
it's a regret. though
not so much

he's been all over me
so i smoke him away
half-running across the street,
he leaves the yellow building
for my eyes to lick

fed up

to be honest with you,
i really am sick of you
so sick i got to move
to a distant table when
that stupid mentioned
your name

among all other tedious things
there's food i've got to finish here
that shouldn't be called in vain
my grace, if ever i say it,
is not for you

true loves do end
we do get things up to the neck

my ride

this way to get to my van
it's messy i hope you don't mind
what sports do you do?
i'll teach you racquetball one of these days
yes, i'll be a good teacher for you
we'll go to my place on wednesday
rehearse in my garage
we can get something to drink
after that
i'll pick you up,
i'll get you home
you're from india, am i wrong?
so what's your plan?
do you have a boyfriend?
oh, i'm sorry
yes, i do have a girlfriend
we've been dating for four years
she's been asking me to marry her
but i'm holding back
married-folks-stop-being-cool club?
movies'll be great
let's do that
i'm glad i'm taking you home
you know i can take you every day
just give me a holler if you need me
you don't go to campus every day?
well, catch you later, agnes!

wind! wind! wind!
