last nights stumblings

by white horse

would you stop me?

if we were walking opposite ways
down the same street
and i was the boy from your dream

would you have that much courage?
that little care?

i would hold my breath if i saw you

the way boys do
as they flush condoms down toilets
waiting to see if they will stay hidden.

and isnt this all common knowledge?

the same way that everyone stops to talk to drunk kids
the same way we all look at pretty girls
