oh, how the boys try to impress the girls
with their kickflips and the slam of the wheels
oh, how they skate and the noise that they make
the teenagers at the bus stop — a public mistake
oh, how they'll shout at the top of their lungs
on this public transport — i am the alpha
testosterone takes charge, oh how the confidence of boys
creates the environment of irritated discomfort
oh, how the ridiculousness of teen boys provides
entertainment when we forgive their misogynist vibes
and bad behaviour — we will say boys will be boys
"i'll have *** with your sister" — the conversation they employ
and oh, how they will fare evade — but hey, so will i
i wish i had their confidence at certain times
and how i wish my teen years were filled with much more fun
if i was less dysphoric and more proud of myself
and when they leave the bus a peace is then regained
the energy they took with them; a calm it creates
