Читать книгу She Must Be Mad: the bestselling poetry debut of 2018 - Charly Cox - Страница 8

This feels silly to write

For in doing so

The sentiment fractures

And goes back full circle

But I’ve kissed plenty of boys

Most of them charming

I’ve kissed plenty of boys

And I’ve been on plenty of arms and

I’ve loved plenty of boys

And they’ve made me feel soft

And I’ve seen plenty of boys

And plenty I’ve lost

I’ve had plenty of evenings

In dimly lit bars

And I’ve had plenty of fumbles

In the backs of their cars

I’ve written plenty of letters

And received plenty of emails

I’ve kissed plenty of boys

And one or two females

I’ve traced plenty of hips

With eager touch

And I’ve kissed plenty of lips

That made me feel too much

And in the plenty I’ve gathered

I’ve garnered plenty of words

But once put all together

They don’t sound like firsts

They all sort of sound similar

As though each man wasn’t new

Which is why it’s important to say

Not everything I write is about you.
