May 15
3:34 pm
That little candy store
At the mall

I turn and abruptly
The world is frozen
In crystal time
Laced together
so delicately
Like a seamless snowflake

It lasts a whole hour
Or a second
I can’t tell

Yet all I see
Are bluish green eyes
Shaggy sandy-brown hair
Skinny jeans
Like the skater boys wear

I can’t see anymore
My blindness is perpetual
If love at first sight exists,

Then
this
is
surely
it.
