I love
a girl
drinking
Coca-Cola
Classic
the first
sweet
sugar
sip
on soft
anticipating
lips.

I love
a girl
who loves
a girl/boy
with
candy dishes
of
lemon drops
and
lifesavers
on the
coffee table.

I love
a girl
at the door
in
boxer shorts
a t-shirt
and four
five
six
seven
eight
hours
of sleep
on her
eyelids.

I love
a girl
who loves
a boy/girl
in green loafers
sweat pants
and a v-neck
sweater
on a
midnight
toothbrush
buying
run.

I love
a girl
with
crinkled
dreadlocks
to match
her
crinkled
pouty
forehead.

I love
a girl
who loves
a girl/boy
rockin'
a floppy
mo
hawk
accessorized
with
gold-tinted
hairspray.

I love
a girl
who loves
a boy/girl
who loves
a girl
who loves
me.
