TWO DAYS

In all my life

I’ve been in love for about

two days

                                                                                              

He was a book worm, 

a writer

and

a reader, 

the dreamy type

who stands at the window of the 

university classroom

with his head resting 

in his hands, 

watching the cars 

move 

along the wet pavement. 

He loved 

the Nicomachean Ethics. 

“I think I’m more of a logician 

than an ethicist,” 

I tell him.

and he smiles

He doesn’t know 

what to say

I lend him a copy of one book

and We

when he brings them back

rather quickly, 

I tell him to keep them

He just doesn’t know 

what to say

to me

he had curly hair

and a cute smile

and I couldn’t keep 

my mind 

off him

for two days
