"Jill"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Jill is a lonely girl
With big sad eyes
And the thing I hate most
Is the way that they cry-
When she's wearing a frown-
Walking around
Wondering why
She expects to connect but then doesn't try.

 

Jill is a pretty girl
With big brown eyes
And the thing I like most
Is the way they arrive-
When she's looking around-
Not to the ground
Not to the skies
But direct they connect with the blue in mine
