Flash Fiction & Poetry
snow angel
damn, my lack of long-term memory is hurting me
want to speak her native language
but i forgot all the Spanish I ever learned
Kent usually digs his status of loner
but know he wants to be Woody Allen or Javier Bardem
and she can be my Vicky Cristina Barcelona
we’ve been trying to date for like two years now
but either she had a man or i had a girl
well worth the wait, this girl is opposite of the random run of the mill
trying to play it slow with this fine Mexican princess
it’s hard to keep my feelings inside
butterflies in my stomach every single time I see her face, my brain now a mess
one thing for sure: baby girl was surely blessed
beauty, grace, intelligence and compassion displayed on her chest
she waves that yellow Terrible Towel and cheers Polamalu
normally looking at other girls, but now I only want you
Ale seems like a female star in my lucid dream
much smarter than me, but she doesn’t flaunt it
she schools me on Mexican culture and customs
asking her about her Torreon family back home
the way she lights up when she talks about family
shows me she’s genuine, lack of materialistic motives in her beautiful dome
scrolls through pictures of her young nephew on her purple iPhone
love going out to the club with her, but yearning for us to be alone
counting the minutes and seconds until it’s me and she
opening my personality, she makes my overtly cluttered head free
no worries about saying the right thing, no need to hide my puppy love glee
she’s burning up the room like Me, You and Dupree
yet sexier than Kate Hudson, i’ll be her A-Rod
World Series, bottom of the 9th inning now: she makes me clutch like Johnny Lod-
den
unique, she’s vastly different than these other female frauds
tonite we might make snow angels with her sis and my nephew
or we could just light up the fireplace
in her loving, endearing embrace
your boy Benson, stubborn at love: finally, honestly, convincingly feels safe
