turns lake day into lust
with secret glances through Ray Bans,
and I wonder if she knows
everyone wants her,
including me.
my hat matches my boxer briefs,
and she notices this,
asking why I wear undies
under a bathing suit.
this means she notices me,
and so I reply
that's just what I have always done,
since I was a kid.
that's adorable, she says,
her eyes going up and down my body,
and I am suddenly self-conscious,
because she is stunning,
and I am average at best.
the trail of light
from a firefly,
signifies the night
and I assume songs are written
for moments like this
where the girl kisses the boy.
spontaneously,
teenage dreams come true
in middle age moments
taking us back,
but only with eyes closed.
just the kiss
is better than anything
after this.
