Catcalling Hey, sir? Yes, you. The one with the baseball cap the ass-hugging Carhartts the light blue shirt You remind me of the high desert in Oregon The ocean in North Carolina The dunes on Lake Michigan The Badlands I saw you bend over to tie your boot and your cap fell off You picked it up Put it on backwards Someone said something about it You laughed, and straightened it Wouldn’t want someone to think you were some kind of bad boy Your smile though So radiant So warm (I can feel it from here) You are probably a very good boy I’d like to bask in that warmth where the shirt meets the Carhartts where the top meets the bottom where the sky meets the earth The line of demarcation is wherever you let it lie Wherever you tuck it From here you are a landscape I long to explore I wish I could climb it swim in it get lost in those badlands Alas I can only paint it
