(JCH -- 7/96)
on a late night
dirt road beside the railroad tracks
shy boy and pretty
brunette in parked car
hands fumbling
awkwardly
as he toys with
her bra strap
until it finally
comes undone
she moves onto
his lap
kissing him
as she takes her
shirt off;
excited boy, nervous
mad at himself
for feeling that way
she must sense
this, he thinks
he wonders if he
should be harder
thoughts racing
a mile a minute
forcing his attention
away from the moment
which should be
magical;
her heart races
remembering how
he looked at her
those weeks before
approaching her
in the student
center,
shyly stealing
glances
as they passed
each other on campus
and the way that
made her feel--
beautiful, special
and desirable
