Homecoming With Latent Blues


that mandarin character


under your moral sleeve


doesn't mean what you once thought


none of your friends


can decipher such symbols


so you're left in the crypt




so straighten your hair and line your eyes


don't think about style


just think about


how great it would be


to have the quarterback


kissing you


while thinking of


his latest touchdown




and I'll buy the snacks


at the concession stand


all proceeds go towards your high school


which needs new desks


because your stupid younger brother


carved his initials in every single one




keep thinking about fall


when you'll end up in state school


but I still wonder 


how many times


you've honestly thought 


about honing your skills


of careful tightrope walks 


and calculated puppet shows
