Analysis of Blue Print
I have him planned; the way he'll walk,
The color of his eyes,
A clear young gaze, with fortitude,
The neatness of his ties.
He will be tall with mannerisms
Cool, and male, and strong,
His hair will glisten when my hands
Push blue-black waves along.
I have him planned, and yet somehow,
I know I'll end up steady
With some young brute who pulls me close
And whispers: "Dinner ready?"
