Cook
that was her name
why would he call her that
too straight laced
he wouldnt call her by her first
name
he didnt like it
Cook
Cook is what naturally came out
of his mouth when he opened it when they first met
in the next heartbeat(his
heart pounded) he called her Kook
a heartbeat later Kookie
like the cat the car jerk from 77
Sunset Strip
just the namesake
no resemblance
a mien she acquired the more
they hung out
away from him she might have been
who she was christened
but with him she let her freak
flag fly
he did something to her at a
primal level
her parents and teachers didnt
approve
funny how parents and
teachers thought what they did or didnt approve was Word
Kookie wanted their relationship to
remain platonic(she couldnt hear his pounding heart)
Wed look like circus freaks she said
she was referring to her
sensational height she was a head and shoulders taller than him
he climbed trees like a monkey
why couldnt he climb her
NO
she thought she was a beanpole
Baby youre slender Ill give you
that but beanpoles aint got the rack youre sporting
Your mamma hang those breasts on you
NO
I wouldnt worry about your disproportion
that seems for whatever reason to egg you on
Youre body will probably grow
into them as you mature
NO
she was probably right
her crisp incited NOs probably suggested
that even her DNA might dare not challenge her
she was headstrong
she was intelligent
she was lovely
(his heart pounded)
what was there not to like
she remained the only platonic
relationship he ever had with a girl or woman
he didnt catch up to her height
when he matured
and that was alright
because nothing could ever take
away their slow dances as kids
before 1640 after
1545, Sunday, 1 10.
