stuffy nose
scratchy throat
foggy head
blotchy red
face
is it too much to wish
for a little romance?
muddled greetings of
future meetings
mother’s delight
sets one a-fright
she wonders
whether
it is too much to wish for
a little romance
yes!
i do not budge
easily
even less so
when stricken so
unromantically
ill
even if you have
the best
of intentions
i don’t trust
your mischief
mother
yes
i’m goofy
yes
i’m awkward
yes
i’m oblivious
suspicious
perceptive
naive
which is why i
wish for
clear-cut
statements
and
well-defined
boundaries
with my side order of
a little romance
