i ran into you today, after school,
after an hour of embarrassed laughter in my head
about a bra-strap coming undone.
after a tear for humanity, lost after a stream of
blood rising to my brain because im
unimportant after saying to myself that its ok to
hate old people,its ok to
sleep while they leave for
a surgery after having the low down blues after all
this
my surgery, you gave me back
my veins.
and i love you already like a girl loves
a man she's never smelt, just read and felt and
built in her mind for centuries after he was dead anyway, though
she's unaware. like an unlettered girl loves a man she steals poetry
off, knowing it as her own.
im a bugger that way, a burglar, but goodness knows
its only been an hour
lets see how, if at all, this changes
from peach flavoured to wine
.
im sorry i couldnt do any better, but im not getting over him for a lifetime, not for another.

could anyone else have penned poetry along similar lines this brilliantly?
This will sound exactly like little blackstar's comment...
but the lines are so beautiful...I just couldn't get over them...
This is going to sound exactly like the above two... but honestly.. the thoughts were beautifully carved.Just.
Are you really just a year younger to me? Because...whoa.
you wear a bra?

oh and anonymous dood person, you make yourself sound like.. either a littil girl very entusiastic about the whole idea of bras or some dood from another planet, or the jungles of wherever who's totally alien to it. no really.

Ah,I always told you ,that you are cut out to be a genuinely different and artistic poet!great work!

You make me want to hug you tight.
Evocative! As for appreciation, I better quote Bukowski's gravestone "Don't Try". I prefer steinbeck tho, from tht part of the world.
