at virginal didn't know shit fifteen
you seemed like a good idea
swaggering hazel eyed Leo King of the Mountain
Texas crude
"I thought you were yellin' rape and I was comin'
up to get my share"
lazy fingers tracing my bare thigh
you were my first tingle
my first date
my first humiliation
but I have known the real deal
since then
and more than once
so why you keep poppin' up in my dreams
like a demented Jack-in-the-Box
I have no idea
in 1996 I saw you again
and I smiled
glad I didn't get my wish
you were pudgy balding bespectacled ordinary
married to Wendy
I was happy for Wendy
and happier for myself
dreams are weird byproducts
of an overactive
bored as hell mind
