For my childish love

Johnny, I am watching you
act
like you are 15 years old
everything you say
is so obnoxious
funny
true
and mean
I want to fuck you until
your
dick is green
you drive your car
slow through these overpasses
I pass your hand under my dress
Johnny you contimplate
our orbit spinning
never stopping
you can not understand how
rotation never ceases
and I know you cannot understand
although you never stop
excitedly living like a barefooted
child finding life in things
I take for granted
the rusty steps to my house
my fingers turning the lock
you make me want to do things to you
that you could never imagine when
you grin at strangers
and toss your hair in your eyes
Johnny- you make me want to fuck you
and feel bad for it because you
act so young and sweet and virtuous
sometimes mean and childish
and I believe what I said was true
when you asked what I saw in you:
"I want to live as freely as you do,
I want to live as freely as you do,
I find something shiny in you that I want for myself."
