Boy Meets Girl

scary faces in the sidewalk staring at the ground scarecrow me in the store window reflection here at the bus stop waiting for the sun to rise it's been a long night me and my head friends been all around town staring at the pretty women hey lady what's your name...you're really beautiful she says her name's Diamond My mind friends tell me she is the one I never understood what the "one" meant I'm young...and apparently stupid...just what I'm told I open my eyes and Diamond's still there at the bus stop...still in the moment She smiled Is she interested? I think so. Hi Diamond,I'm Kalonji...have you ever seen the sun at night?

Nice way to strike up a conversation huh? I loved the language in this piece, different slang and I really enjoyed this read today. Your friend in poetry, Lucinda
