Driver's Ed

I wish he would just shave
but his eyes are nice.  I explain
the sun makes two things
heat and light. leaning in,
his eyes told him they were
connected.
                       No connection, I said.
His face is one- planes of lips
bright bright eyes and teeth
that are beautiful
black hair black skin.
but curliness at the corners of the mouth- dirty
I dash out colloquialisms and
sprinkle grammatical errors (for to err is human)
in a nattempt.  For he is beautiful.
but I wish he would shave.  I wish my eyes would brighten.
but really (and this is private) I like my face better.
I'm finna apologize.
Fixin to.
Sorry.
