eliminate worthwhile drivel

hold on to your mind
introductions always lie
precious ways of discontent
nibbling, form my scars

she looks away
when my gaze falls to her chest
it was an accident,
fidgeting screams deny every intent

shake my hand, i am important.
he thinks i'm gay
what if i am
what if im not

so what
she whispers across the coffee
steam embraces her words
the fogged truth of every joke

i am too short for this discussion
bend over so i may steal your eyes
i want them for my collection

he knows my soul
and i know nothing of him!
what if he tells my mother?
the story is as enticing
as last night's dream

she dances on the tip of tongues,
i follow, anticipate her every move,
riding with the blisters
on the heel of life.
we all steal stroking glances
laced with rapt attention.
