I met this boy.

[Josiah Jacobus-Parker]

I met this boy.

He is perfect in every way.

He has beautiful hair

And a wonderful smile

And we have so much in common.

I met this girl.

She wants to own the boy I met.

She was there first.

I really like her a lot.

She's quite nice, and fun,

And I could get used to it.

I want so much from the boy.

I want to give him everything.

I want him to hug me and keep me

And I want to do the same to him.

But she was there first.

And he can hardly see me

Because she?s always in the way.

She owns the boy I met.

It's not fair.

I always lose out.

I never get what I want.

I met this boy.

He?s with this girl.

He treats her like dirt.

She thinks he?ll change.

I know he won?t.

I met this girl.

She says she fell down the stairs.

But I see her flinch when he raises his hand.

She says she?s happy.

She doesn?t own the boy.

I met this boy.

His smile is false.

We?re not much alike.

He?s not very perfect.

He thinks he owns this girl.

I met this girl?

She saved me once

Now it?s time to save her.

If I pick up my life,

And start making it worth someone else?s time,

I might win.

For once.

Hey, you know what? That's not only a poem -- that's a novel! Very good story idea. Lotta potential for conflict: a multi-sexual triangle.

I could see a lot of sparks in this idea. Very intriguing!

I'd answer, but I'm busy tilting at the windmill in the last verse. Why? Because I'm Quixotic, a romantic idealist, of course.

OK, I'm done tilting for a bit. It's a good story within a poem, and a good blank-verse poem.

I find myself agreeing with Der Pecman, a rarefied but not entirely unknown occurrence.

That is, yes, this has potential as a story idea also. But it's refined in its poetic state.

I think you're right, it definitely does have the potential for a whole novel--but I think that's a task I'll leave for someone else to take up.

I'm having enough trouble finishing off The Angel as it is. heh.
