How do you make her your girlfriend, William?
At recess, you take her behind a tree and ask her.
He
nuzzled my nose and
asked me to stay
wrapped his arms and smiled
I willingly pretended it was a goodnight hug
not a trap to keep me there
on his mat beside our parents bed
in the warmth of that golden room
covered in dirty paw-prints
(this room is beautiful
I love this room
I mean that)
Yes, he said, just hugging you
a hug all-night-long
and we laugh at his trick
before I tug myself away to bed
Love is so simple here
I'd like a boy to take me behind a tree and
ask me.
