see you in the hall
you lean your locker in a muse
(i'll tie my shoes)
wishing in your blond and blue
and guiding with my knee
(he looks right at me)
and through our eyes
i saw you
Hyacinthus in a daydream
do you know my name?
i know you but
i'm too small to expect anything more
as you carry on
sophomore year is new
and you're in my swimming class
(it's just like skipping mass)
thinking of the locker room ahead
and the shower, the grief
(will I have to shed my fig leaf?)
before we changed
i puked in the bathroom sink
no room for love
my belly knew
gym teacher counts the heads
but I am gone
ran through a door
it set off an alarm
that no one heard
buried my key
deep in the ground
it grew into a lock
where the flowers will never be found
this sterile love
is going nowhere
it brings no fodder
sterile love
sitting in a jar of chlorine water
my seeds fell from me
onto the sidewalk
didn't land on no dirt
the birds ate them up
