if I was sixteen

again,

do it exactly the same;;

swoon for every cute girl-woman

who dared me by just passing

by my existence

with nary a glance

in the unending

hallways of high school

and think

ah ha!

bet she would like her

very own

love note,

and that is just one of

the many ways,

god

makes

creates

and

fabricates

his humans

into

poets

and bigger fools.
