High School

I don't care anymore. You are the most wonderful thing I've ever seen in my life. 
Everytime you look at me I want to explode.  You're doing some sort of yoga move in front 
of me which you claim not to be yoga with your 15-year-old autistic client, rubbing your feet 
into his hand, bending over him between a giant cushy yellow soft-leathered cylinder, your 
hair dangling over him, now up in a pony-tail as you resituate your thighs, steadied and 
jeaned in that young and smart physique, a show of craving futures for my sitting nature, 
not more than two feet away.

I will love you from afar with light beams if I must.  We'll be left to devour each other with 
our eyes.  In hot-quick glances.

Congrats Matt with your win with this piece! The title definitely fits, and anybody have a fan there?? My favorite line actually was your third to the last line--it's really beautifully rendered--congrats again and I echo Linda-Marie's thoughts about the tsunami scare--happy as well that all is well in Hawaii, let's all pray for Chile :)

Matt, Wow, I love this perceptive piece which lets us return to our youth with the eagerness felt in hormones gone wild. This gal would really appreciate reading this if it were made known to her that she was the subject. A delightful read....Mahalo, Connie Into fav's.
