okay, this is
officially ridiculous!
i mean he isn’t that
great,
even so, i can’t help
smiling like an idiot
every time he gets
close to me.

and when he laughs,
my soul is hastily
snatched
by his vacuum
cleaner magnetism,
and spun off sloppily into
a bowl with all
the bits and pieces
of him that i can fit
together.

the second his feet
tap next to where i’m
sitting, i get all
gooey for a second
and i have to collect
myself
before i am able
to make a witty comeback;
one to amaze him.

he’s too smart to be in our
class this period, so i laugh off
my nerves, and wait
impatiently until english,
where i can fall into his
burning eyes again.

he is like a-

no! stop! now!

sigh...

see what i mean?
ridiculous...
