A contradiction in terms
Who is this girl?
Just a college student
but more
friendly
sociable
beautiful
the kind of girl my buddies
would get
because they are players
and she fits the textbook
but like warm ice
a contradiction
with sword & shield
fending off such
ruffians
inserting her stinger
into the bosom
of shenannigans
pumping lethal
poison
until the sun fades
and cactuses explode
buckets of carpet
expand the horizon
of her
feet
as she spews
fireballs of the
coldest blue
steel
demagnetization of
corny love is her
strength

(Dedicated to the love of my life, Katie)
