  • She laughs stupidly and loudly.
    She mocks someone that she hardly knows,
    (She insults his big red ceramic bird feeder.)
    Her cheeks and stupid floppy ponytail radiate sunlight,
    But her eyes are wide and open, and
    I can see her bloodshot rims.
    Maybe she's nervous.
  • Maybe he's nervous.
    He laughs too much, but with too little breath,
    When she's around.
    He speaks in a higher voice, mocks his best friend.
    And when she's not around, he's waiting and watchful.
    His fingers drum too fast on metal.
