Recess

she had a secret
the sky was a rummage bin
all full of pies
to put their fingers in
he told his teachers
he was an epileptic
she read him all wrong
he called her dyslexic
and they drew pictograms
halfway between parades
to compliment each other
when they're not talking praise
he steals another kiss
she thinks crime pays
they favor hop scotch
when playin drinking games
she explored his space
and his conic sections
and when they got lost
in their affections
they grew a compass rose
it bloomed in all directions
then drew a map of dots
and traveled to connect them
he wrote her love letters
full of ink blots
she wore her heart all over
like a leopard's spots
her love could never change
shaped like forget-me-nots
and one time in the forest
where a stream had stopped
she guessed his real name
that's how his soul was caught
so he made her a promise
she made into a secret
the day would never end
if they both believed it
