kerry not a boy
a man
he could swear like a movie star
and fucked kathy pentilla
behind the church
before i was having wet dreams
he was a friend of mine
when i was ten
kerry not a boy
asked michelle
who do you love? tell me first
i said
looking at her
i moved closer
i can't tell you out loud
then whisper
i said
and pulled her hair
away from my ear
david was a big nerd
one year older
with glasses and short hair
a born-again christian
a bully
a baseball hero
i went home
i did not die
i laid in bed
and thought of ways to cry
david
the goliath
i would have killed him
but he did not belong to me
he found out the truth
and he smiled at michelle
but never said a word
he kept her
bound by flesh
