Love Poem IV (1974 archives)

CATEGORY

life

Views: 146

she is a fine crystal goblet 
and a red rose in bloom
I am dirty white socks 
and a cluttered bedroom

she is ribbon and lace 
and ice cream parfaits
I am jeans and sneakers
touchdowns and double plays

she is theater tickets 
and dinner for two at eight
I am pop-tarts and apple juice 
but I never gain weight

she's a mother's delight 
and a boy's constant prayer
I am band-aids, chewing gum
an afro comb in my hair 

I like soft jazz and Motown
I’d read more books if I had time
and so I write poetry
some are abstract and some rhyme

so why does this thorn bush
seem so fond of this rose?
there are many questions to ask
the answers no one knows

you could be a can of pledge 
and I, a table full of dust
you could clean me and shine me 
and mend me if I bust

you are so civilized 
and I am living in a tree
so take my hand, walk along 
and somehow civilize me
