Distractions

Guilty hopes wrapped themselves
Around her
Like so many vines
Around the trunk of a tree.

At her desk, unaware;
A pen spinning playfully
Between her slender digits.
A silent jest across a crowded room.

A promise
That only I can see.
Tempting me to make a move
And interrupt the sullen silence.

That unusually tense silence
We generally attribute
With public examination.
Pointless displays of irrelevant knowledge.

What more do I need to know
Than the fact that you exist?
Warm and alive.

What meaning could a test ever give me
That you could not?

The bell has already rung...

Author's Comments

Distracting love. Love that causes you to fixate on nothing else but the object of your devotion. Every move they make is an explosion of impulses in your brain, electricity down your spine.

But is it safe to love so carelessly? I suppose you'll find out when you get your test back.

it was a bad day. the sun exploded;
the earth roiled and tore entire cities asunder;
the bus in front of my car crashed violently and everyone died;
i ran out of green tea.
