Josh wrote this poem in 2002 about adolescence and the reversal of frigidity.

For You Are Far Away

Boy stares blank

Surrounded by girls

One in his lap

Looks into his eyes

He seems far away

He stands up

She falls off

And says "ha ha"

He says nothing

And goes home

Don't worry

Girls

One day

He will beg for you

In vain

He will lay in tears

And beg for you

Back
