hit & amiss

 

eyes like that

you nearly did it, boy

42 minute tour

this scar, here, your elbow

the little one on your knee-

but you jumped the gun, alright

trying too hard in the

soft rain you aimed for lips

busy smiling silent questions, saying

‘what are you made of?’

and ‘I can sing

but can you play?’

and last but not least,

‘how far, how long,

how high?’

and ‘oh, I see’.

and so,

I turned my head.
