ALPHABET OF AWKWARD AMOR
Awkwardly he made a pass
Bumped his head against the glass
Cheesy lines flew far and wide
Didn’t notice spinach fried
Ego big, but brain quite small
Fumbled trying to make a call
Gave her flowers — they had bugs
Hugged too long and popped her lugs
In his teeth was something green
Joked too much — the vibe turned mean
Kissed her hand, then sneezed real loud
Laughed alone (not in a crowd)
Made a mixtape: wrong girl's name
Narrated dreams that brought her shame
Overdressed in latex pants
Professed love mid worm dance
Quickly tried to do a dip
Ripped his jeans — then broke a hip
Said, “I love you” way too soon
Tripped and mooned her under moon
Unbuckled shoes in sexy pose
Very much stepped on her toes
Winked so hard, his eye got stuck
X-rated dreams but no real luck
Yelled her name but got it wrong
Zero game… but writes her songs
Note: This is an echo to "Poison" by a dear poetic friend. I have read a lot of these ABC poems recently, I'm assuming for a contest, and they are wonderful! I'm not in the contest and I am sure these lines above don't dance as well as others. I wrote this because my muse (the one with all the ideas), Chance Summer (that's the name he goes by).. wanted to dance with Cay Cay's muse. Chance is no dancer. And the kid is "Heartbreak City" as is reflected in his work above and many of our heartbreaking songs. Does that make Chance awkward? Yes, incredibly.. but he don't care. Cause tonight, he is out on the dance floor with an exciting lady muse, and his echo echo to her is a dance that will never get old!
