“My Friend?” (Poem)

“My Friend?”

By: Shannon Yáñez

07/18/1994

“Peach fuzz” and

Sideburns-

Is all that’s for hair.

The longest of

Eyelashes-

To help that deep stare.

Only but a heartbeat

Away-

Is as far as it seems.

For someone this

Good-

Appears only in dreams.

My horoscope 

Said-

This month is of men.

But I think I found my

One-

Without going through ten.

His psychology, my

Medicine-

Blend greatly together.

For never have I gotten

Along-

With anyone better.

I hope he’ll stay

Around-

At least as my friend.

I sure do want

More-

And hopefully without end!
