| oneal walters |  | 1. A Strong Female (From The Age Begins) I'm on that bus Emotions jumping Over weaker emotions, Their legs built to leap Like grasshoppers' legs. I'm near the last stop. She's a pond of intelligence, My mind scoops like a bucket Her depth of understanding. She reads novels And lives in Aurora. After classes we meet. She tells her friend to wait And spends time with me. We head to the stairs. As we kiss and rub each other, We listen to hear if anyone Comes from above or below. This is not marriage, It's the stop before that, It's appreciation and respect. This is not passion, She likes her steady job Prefers to follow orders Wants a normal life. I ring the bell. This is not a single smile, Not a single kiss on her lips. She’s a female who meets me, Mentally gives and has no dreams. I'm on that bus Emotions jumping Over weaker emotions, Their legs built to leap Like grasshoppers' legs. I walk through a crowd I exit before that stop. | |
