Classic Poem

My new boy friend is an Indian
5’11” black hair in a ducktail
brown eyes
a Noble Savage
still in high school
(shades
of Miss Pynchot
our History teacher)

He's so cute
I can't tell
hex from sex

On New Year's Eve
he called
at two a.m.
so drunk
he asked me
to marry him

but my heart's
still
with Frankie Avalon
his new song
