i came to think of you, and how happy i wanted to be



like that time i
kissed you with less respect
than usual

[to give you perspective
and a mild touch of tonsillitis]

and i got dressed in your clothes
your belt and a dirty cap
since your shoes were ships
and mine always too small

i pretended to listen
correctly
when all i wanted was to read out loud
from every diary
covered with hearts and red lines

but i was mortified when you smiled
cause you revealed a wolfs grin
that made you look hungry
when all i was was starving

and the way your car mechanic hands
were s a d
and when you grasped for my feet
i fell
ahead

every time

yes i was wondering like penfold but the words are so powerful especially car mechanics hands
and reference to wolf' s grin strong image of someone hurt by one who they thought was a friend
well done young lady
wonderful poetry
