POEMS BY ONE MICAIAH

She Only Needs Her Looks

I want

to live

without thinking

girls live

in my world

till I'm ready

to marry

follow

Mama's advice

and all

but what

can I do

when there's

Arike

somewhere

screaming

and begging me

to pluck her

till her brain

is nowhere

to be found

with just the way she looks.
