johnny clean (old notebooks)

Johnny Clean jogs to the park

And mumbles to the children.

He can't wait until they're grown,

And he's no longer waiting.

-

Little arms and little legs,

Oh how he wants to hold them.

Sweaty dreams of cousin Jean

Under age eleven.

-

On the corner of the block

The neighbors hardly notice.

Johnny plays games in the dark

Right under all their noses.
