The Man Across From You

is just tall enough
has big dark expressive eyes
and a very kind smile
golden dark brown skin
and a slim built

you sit across from him
in the classroom
or in the lunchroom
or see him leaning back
against a tree
near the basketball court

the man across from you
could be a basketball player
or just likes to watch
may be a good player
or doesnt want to play

the man across from you
quickly stands up straight
or rushes to stand up
and walks toward the school
you see him smile
in your dream he comes to you
and you dont want him to slip away
