first impressions
I said I'd write a poem.
Yet, the thoughts that previously meandered
frivolously through my mind have abandoned
me, only to climb using my peers, up the
hierachal literary ladder.
My shoes not as expensive,
you can tell by how the soles
are transparent,
I cross my legs
and the dusty brown underbelly of my foot is revealed.
Laziness and sheer disinterest
call for your eyes to
crawl up unshaven, ashen brown legs,
and the tweet your read once about how
ladies should be hairless except for that atop their heads
comes to mind.
You quickly disregard it
for it's the last thing you want
shimmy-shaking before you
as you avert my eyes
and grasp my hand to shake.
What's to happen when dreams stop distinguishing
themselves from reality.
Tell me, then what.
