Born Again
A skinny boy stands waiting for the bus,
Watching a high-school couple kiss and sigh.
She notices and laughs "He's watching us!"
He thinks he knows just what it's like to die.
They walk whispering to him, hand-in-hand.
"You ever kiss a girl?" the boyfriend jeers,
And being dead already helps him stand.
"I'll let you," says the girl—the boyfriend leers.
But being since he's dead he cannot speak or move
Except that part of him she's watching grow.
"He isn't dead," she smiles, "but I can prove
He's stone." She cups him. "See ya, Romeo."
AndHow faithfully for months she comes at night
To cause his bring him resurrection to in delight!
