Words. Mispilled.
Modifiers dangling at the
wrong places, having stared too long
into your turquoise eyes
The sparkles in them fall
into my run-on sentences of deliberation
like punctuations; little commas
with an attitude that divides my manhood
and stubborn periods
that keep everything
I say and do in line.
.
You don’t need to control my words
You’re on my mind, in my heart,
down to the bottom of my soul,
across from my sight like a phantom,
all about me and all the way through me
.
This is what you do best
These subtle distortions
of a man’s prepositions
.
This is what you do best
The forceful reduction
Of a man’s expression
to mere adjectives for your existence
.
And you, being always plural,
will never agree to be the subject of my romance
for I, being perpetually single due to my
pathetic inability to talk to beautiful girls,
I am the lame verb in the wrong tense
with taped retro glasses and jeans that are
so last-century-ago, without the sizzle
.
That is why in English,
a sentence’s subject is never changed
for the sake of the verb
for it is definite, written in stone,
while the verb, so meagre and hopelessly in love
suspends his life with the decisions you make.
