Short Story Competition 2008

Re: Short Story Competition 2008

<span style='font-family: Fixedsys'>i didn’t think I would ever see him again

but before my eyes

the love of my life

okay pull your self together sis

yep that’s him in front of you

get it together

he’s in front of me

and he’s not alone

do I say hey, hello, greetings, salutations, hi,

or strut my stuff

I decide on a quick nod

And a thoroughbred strut – like the award winning horses

Head high, spine tall - focused

And walk

So … do my usual thing

Hit the clubs,

Eat too much

Chat too much

IT’S HIM AGAIN

Why this vacation

Why now

Okay chill your hair has grown

No one knows you

Just creep and do your thing

Okay safe now

I am NOT trying to be found

Knock knock

Knock knock

Security

Yeah what

Someone to see you miss

Sure sure

Why now

Lawd


Hey bwoy

What’s up

Don’t you want to walk the beach

NO

Don’t you want to hear the music

I can hear it from here

Don’t you want to hear the tree frogs

NO NO NO

Let’s go and walk

And hear what we hear

Okay

And the stars are twinkling

And the moon is shining

And the earth is ripe

The sun rises once again - as always

And everything is all right with the world </span>

mr trouble . . .

<span style='font-family: Fixedsys'>As soon as he walked in the room I could tell he was trouble

Too cute. Too fine

And I could smell his perfume from 50 feet away

Not Jade West or Divan Musk

But his perfume

Sniff, sniff, yes

Of course, I always like a little trouble

Gotta have some at least once in awhile

Gotta put it out there and take it back there

And just feel some trouble

Every life needs some serious trouble

Once in a awhile

So Mr. Trouble

With his serious self

Stepped up in the place

Not knowing

Some trouble was at his side

Some Miss
Trouble

You know how trouble is

Gotta see it

Gotta scratch it

Gotta smell it

Gotta just get into trouble!

So . . .

I edge over to Mr. Trouble

And I say

Hey baybee

Are you trouble?

And he says “yeah baybee, I’m trouble”

And I RUN LIKE HELL!
