if I were a girl
I would tape
the pretty sun
to the backs of my knees.
it would shine out
through my teeth,
I would light the whole earth
if I would speak
and to the first curious boy--
I'd lift my light blue skirt
and uncloud the view.

you've got no stripes and
there's no dirt in your fries

I hope it's right when you die

is it not the best song evar?
yo it wasn't even like that
I wanted my cardiovascular to fight back
cupid had me runnin' circles blindfolded in the day time with
a flashlight
looking for her
I'm caught in between future's fantasies and memories I played
back
told my man I started sword fighting
'cause fencing was similar to tongue kissing
if you wait too long you gonna end up confessin'
check this situation, I wore my lust like cologne
she called it obsession
the background's black and white and we adolescents
like what the fuck we know about love?
yo, you burnin' the candle at both ends
I'm supposed to be the friend, I'm gettin' fried in the end
the big bang theory, what is this a trend?
you ask a girl out and the universe extends
tell me to talk to the hand again and I'll read your palm
all I wanted was grounds for understanding
I ain't greedy, but to hold your heart I gotta put my hand in, why
debate?
you think you can fit me in that anorexic space between love and
hate?

libby's first sunrise, you been wasted from the day
of wondering and losing and sleepin outside
now the light holds a terrible secret tonight
you know that this is what you get
you been wandering around
you been fuckin around
you been wandering around
you been fuckin around
libby's first sunrise, you been wasted from the day
of wandering and losing and sleepin outside
playing the idiot all of your life
and this is what you get
master of all you surveyed but today
you been wandering around
you been fuckin around
you been wandering around
you been fuckin around
libby's first sunrise, you been wasted from the day
and now you know
suffering idiots all of your life
and this is what you get
now the light holds a terrible secret
the light holds a terrible secret
the light holds a terrible secret
the light holds a terrible secret
ah the light!
oh
the
light

I absolutely love this first four lines. The entire thing is so simple, and yet powerful in a way. I like it

this is stylistically the same as your last poem, which bothers me a bit.
the poem itself is very you though, very simple and cute. i like it.
no title ideas unfortunately.

i noticed the similarity too, and didn't like it. my original plan was to write a different poem first and post it, wait a week, then post this one. for the sake of separation. but i never wrote the other poem. so i quit waiting.
how you been babe?
