Yes You, In That Black Suit Poem by Janine Alyssa Navarro

happier times dangle
by the newspaper’s torn corners
so what have you in mind
amuse me with the things,
people and jackets
that I’ve always wanted
dreams and desires
oh how they diminish me
I was good, better even
than the rest of these skirts
but for once, for a moment
I’ll be a tad bad for this boy
who’s given me joy, crazy
he spins me around
until my eyes roll to the
back of my giggling head
take me on a date, you
yes you, in that black suit
I’m never returning you home
