paperback love affair

Kyle Hemmings

    imagining you as the 7th grade girl i kissed when the moon was half of a mouth that could not pronounce us as in did we do it? you might have been the one who won the science essay, something about cross-bred tulips. when it came to irish catholic boys like me you had a green tongue & a hard line on commies. your definition: a commie never wears white socks & winds up smoking moroccan dope with substitute teachers who don‘6t wear bras/are allergic to camel fur. imagining you as the girl with blue distance in her eyes & me & my boomerang dreams-to-obsessions-to-chronic fatalities. i didn’t mean to bring you roses at the dorm & stammer like one of dostoyevsky’s idiot boys giggling at his own argyles. we never did get to the point of the story where the anti-hero becomes hero for a day. you never had the balls.
