Teenage Tritonus

It was a back and forth, where back was a disaster

it was a water tread, a call with different answers

when you're in the heat, you cannot see your place

I smelled your undies just in case we never happened

I guess I knew by then it was evaporating

when you're on the spot you work with what you've got

it's weird how fun you are

when you are young and willing

poetic, jester-capped and up for talking feelings

phone calls in the night and you get up and go

the winter feels so long in airholed patterned sneakers

you wanna stay inside her all throughout December

back in my mind, visions of fluff

valiant lust that's winding me up

how high can one soar on kind words and smiles

opposing the ache, with constant denial

teeny bop love, change like the sky

perky at day, murky at night

I could've sworn that she would put out

if only I could turn the tide
