__________by Turner
i want to hold you Lisa
as if my mother asked me to
and kiss you as if my father dared
me to...
crush you Lisa
w/every ounce of
living breath i can
and chase you down Times Square
then hug you in the center
of my living room from childhood.
but they have built me out of character
and what i feel for you Lisa
and all the others, my dear
will not do for the masses
it will not hold them secure and speculation,
eternal
but i want to lay you out in the middle
of my kitchen from my first apartment
and recite my first poem to you underneath
the sweat....
recite to the query souls
that this is my love for you Lisa
