Alpha Babe

His courage circles the drain,
as he watches her walk by-
surrounded by others who,
only inhibit his vision.

She is the scintillating goddess,
currently reigning in his small world.
She is the reflection that the others long for,
hoping that mere proximity would allow her visage to
jump mirrors.

He watches with his back against a cold brick wall,
attempting a cavalier pose that looks staged.
He is all long limbs and sharp angles,
making him look like a discarded marionette.

She is refined and poised from a life of adulation,
and feeds off his hunger without giving him a glance.
She is the alpha babe in this primordial high school pool,
and no lifeguard can rescue him from his current social standing.

Wonderful Blue, and I remember those days. You have described me perfectly long and lanky (unfortunately, not anymore). I had the biggest crush on one that was completely out of my league. A senoir I think when I was a freshman, (I always liked to set my sights high) very good and thanks for the memory.

Oh the scales were not in your favor, an older woman no less! Who doesn't remember those crushes of our youth. Thank you so much for sharing your memory. Too bad she can't read some of your awesome poetry today. : )

yeah, I would probably still be out of her league. :)>
