The Beautiful Game

by John Long   Jan 24, 2008


Waiting for a ride to the game.
The august heat has stolen the air so
I open a window and breathe in the afternoon.
Down in the street the Saturday traffic
Is backed up, waiting impatiently,
Snarling, ready to pounce.

From the nearest car I can hear
Lennon still imagining.
In the passenger seat I see,
First take. Long brown hair, long brown legs,
Second take. I realize it's you.

I hope my game is as
Enjoyable as yours.

    Ooooh such sweet seduction. Isn't it awful how women have that sweet innocent way about us. Great write and very intriguing. Enjoyed it.
