Stupid
stupid
looking at me
like never been kissed
like a virgin
like a book that I’ve read
no intrigue
stupid
bites hard on the lips
dig her teeth-needles
perfect pale cheekbones
emerge
i'm silent
and like a mountain immovable
stupid
she breathes in my ear.
do you want to make me
no need
i'm stalling at the start
do you remember
i scratched on a wooden desk
your name
and nearby
my name
and now
i'm getting older
i'm not a boy anymore
i don’t dream
i don’t wish others luck
but you do
and only that’s why
you are
stupid
