Huddled on a rainy day by the staircase
by Melanie J YarbroughI've found that it annoys me
the way you sit three seats down instead
of the empty one beside me.
like before-
I find you tugging at the little hairs on my neck-
they think it's shakespeare
how I like your sideways smile
and your backpack pulled high up
and how you wear that yellow shirt
too much.
I'd like to wear it once 03/31/2005 Posted on 03/31/2005

| Posted by Paul Marino on 12/01/06 at 07:41 PM i threw the yellow shirt away by accident. i threw all my clothes away when i put them in a trash bag to bring to mom's for wash. i left the bag on the curb with all the other real trash i was bringing out. |
