first date
what to wear
with snow on the ground

first date
she begins to pick
colors for the bathroom

Curly or straight?
Jeans or skirt?
I wonder what he’s like

school dance
cute boy
dancing with the enemy

top quarter champion

top half champion

bottom quarter champion

cootie free for the day
the brown haired boy
two seats to the left

grade school valentines
for the whole class
but Johnny gets a kiss

so nervous
what will she say
the ring

whispers spread
across the room
check yes or no

top half champion

champion

bottom half champion

bullets in the sky
a very long
engagement

heart ache
just like the song
sings

burying his memory
leaves fall
on the ground

Valentine's Day
flowers in the snow
all white

top quarter champion

bottom half champion

bottom quarter champion

secret admirer
no, mom
you don’t count

long stemmed roses
given to mom
group hug

overcrowded couch
sappy love movies
with my sisters on v-day

lovers skate
on the ice . . .
I just watch
