a small nostalgia trip

Two Perverted Peas
For Cassie

She held my hands
rested on my scaly arm
and we watched the planes tear up the sky.

She told me over milkshakes
"Your swollen eyeball
is your least attractive feature."

She bought a carton of beer
and we spent the rest of the day in bed
cartoons and kissing deeper and deeper.

She says she's fat and ugly
naturally assuming that everyone agrees
so i reassure her at once
"I'm the only one who can truly see your beauty."

She couldn't trust my pale blue eyes
far enough to see that her sweet face
is my life support addiction.

She took me shopping
for a new black dress for Christmas
flatly refusing to design my outfit.
