They were Not Normal

i saw you walk across the courtyard

i saw you notice me, on the bench

you looked at me then yourself

shook your head, and went ahead

what a waste of time,

what a waste of time

but, good lass, 

you seem just my kind

so i stopped you with my foot

indeed over it you tripped, 

sat next to me, upon which i began unfolding the plaster beneath your heart

you were so pleasantly flustered,

i don't think someone like me ever gave you much attention,

kept stumbling over your sentences,

that giddiness was a sort of 

high to my gut

it concealed the perfection of my lines

because I've been watching you for quite some 

time
