Noemi

I.

she might be candy
I must find out
if she is
as purposeful as that walk
that self-confident strut
as pensive as
that lip-biting thing
she does

kissing her
must be
like eating music

Several friends and I were standing in a parking garage around this car she was in, looking at her. She just sat in there and started talking, but we couldnt hear because all the windows were shut. I tried to make a joke out of it by moving my lips without speaking but nobody laughed. Finally she got out and started acting like she was leaving or going somewhere. She said goodbye to everybody, then turned to me and smiled. She poked me gently in the stomach with something like a cane or an umbrella and said, Goodbye, you big guy.
