#varsity - Hello Poetry

i. The sight of it brings back memories of Your rival team, confronting you on the line of scrimmage, The rain pouring down, stinging your face, Your breath misting in the arctic air. ii. The smell of it brings you back to that Friday night When you tripped up the bleachers and Spilled popcorn all over yourself because Her red hair and bright smile made you stop in your tracks. iii. The clang of the pins against each other Follows you in the hallway wherever you go, Reminding you of that triumphant feeling That took over when your basketball team won districts. iv. The warm feeling that fills your heart when You give it to her, the red-haired bright-smiled girl, Matches the warm feeling she feels when she Puts it on, drowning in your scent. v. You know that years later, after you’ve left high school And everything about that place behind, The sight of that jacket will bring back all the memories Of football games, Friday nights, championships, and her.

Soccer practice, as always, was grueling Sweaty sediment sticks until showers But the adrenaline is still pumping Really? Do we need to smell like flowers? No no, athletes deserve a better scent Testosterone and *** suit us better Instead, let us take a moment to vent Afterwards, wear our Varsity sweaters Big game coming up-we want to be loose Skin on skin, touching curves, the same as all We do on field, don't you be obtuse C'mon now girl, let's win, be logical You know I cannot play my best Unless I strip that jersey off your chest

I have tried to make my room look like a class somewhere in Varsity, Or even travelled with time to the future, I have found my mind misplaced in a timeline. But now that we have finally met, look at me. I have seen your face through every student's eyes. How you would sit next to me, in our own planet. How I wish I could have said more than 'Hello' I just discovered another home you built in the wrong side of the sky, You constantly ignore how I look at you and see our future built in your palms, I have watched FUTURE moving back and forward in my eyes. 6746
