diko

I don't like the way
you probably speak
to the women who make
your coffee
I smile because I'm a happy
person- you seem cynical
and condescending
but you're always smilling
I don't like how I feel
young and nubile
around you
Don't like how you act like
you're younger
Your experience frightens me
more mystery than I can
breath in
You wear a windbreaker from
before I was born
Your eye contact never wavers
Steady, steady stare.
Please, free me from intrigue

I havent read your poetry in a while, and I spent most of tonight catching up after writing a bit of my own...

I gotta say you have some cool lines in a lot of these...so dont be surprised if I steal some of them...

I really liked "You wear a windbreaker from before I was born"
