one hit wonderboy

chuck and his all stars
cherry maroon fuschia burgundy
violet lavender purple plum
poster paint dinos say extinct is forever
parted curtains of long limp damp hair
startled rabbit eyes peering through
mom's got all the gummies and jawbreakers
eisenhower for red hot chilli peppers
hovering waiting near the lobby
for the bell and the librarian
perpendicular halls become you
and your dog-named friend follows
i contemplate on collisions and hunger
and you appear before my very fries
a day of unlimited melodious stalking
turned the table and paranoia on me
long and winding stares casted
i itch to strangle alexander graham bell
with telephone wires masked in mock anger
i learned of your mommy and chicken coops
your interest in soap operas and my name
there's always the not knowing
romeo + juliet isolated and quarantined
i became a sucker for tragedies
you became barbie who likes flowers
and wouldn't go in and eat his meat rolls
i know about the marathon to the slope
but not later of the spartan helmet
aiming high i pined for your crooked teeth
these consume me
wanting what could never be had
as the shifting clouds in the sky
and the shadows in the night are ambiguous
i chase what haunts and fleets
in the labyrinthine inconsistensies of time
hoping for synchronicity and crossroads
i found you barefoot in the summer
i sucked up a finger to offer the wind
all four came and never you
