Hand-eye coordination

The ballpark figure she wants

is the silhouette with a sloped back.

His body is a long, curved articulation

of her lifelong privations. He springs, dunks.

She wants him sometime in the next now.

Hairy legs out the shorts and the socks

halfway down (designed to excite her?)

the risible school-ness of his uniform

its attempt to hide what for years has been

a sexual machine, awaiting work.

Tanned shoulders, a muscled arm, a glimpsed armpit,

the full disclosure of his nylon shorts (!).

She is a brimming sink of desire

but—just like that—the plug is pulled,

and the boy over the road is safe again.
