And I look over, one row up, one column to the right, and there in her desk is my Love. Biting her lip in concentration, she is trying to write as fast as the teacher is talking. He is quite the eccentric man; he wears a new tie every day and yells loudly. He is checking homework:
Billy, goddamnit! If your not gonna do your homework at least copy it from Liz!
He is teaching class:

Im proud for no reason
I continually make eyelash wishes to be
the greatest poet the world ever saw
There's a giant van Gogh
on my wall I see myself in a little café in Paris
drinking coffee
But my parents have a coffee mug with a replica of that painting and the Starbucks logo
The sight of it fills my heart with despair
I no longer see myself in t

and as the sun may grow so shall we, till we may spread our dark wings
reaching out so far that we may do nothing but fall back open
unto light and life unto the fool, mouth gaping at shadows
its so cold, he may say and he walks toward the fire, flame spread throughout his body
stretching, oh so quickly, through his veins so bright, god, on his heavenly perch, might finally see him again

Poetry Collection IVThe Moment I was Put to DeathPoetry Collection IV
