Teen Geek
By Jessie Carty
Who did you hang
on your wall? Were you
all about Tom Cruise or
one of the Coreys? I
was a geek lover, wanting
my dream date to be
Lloyd Dobler from
“Say Anything” or
Farmer Ted from
“Sixteen Candles”
and I mean
the characters because
I had no illusions
of ever meeting
John Cusack or
Anthony Michael Hall
even if every girl I knew
who had been to Myrtle Beach
claimed to have seen
someone famous there.
Even if I went there, I’m sure
the only guy who would follow
me would be wearing high
waters or sporting taped up
thick framed glasses. Real
geeks weren’t as interesting,
real dorks were everywhere.
I wanted my nerds
with a hint of cute,
the kind of everyday boy
that could be a prince
if you kissed him.
Jessie, I love this poem. It is light and fun. The line breaks are playful, perfect, setting us up for delightful surprises. In poetry, in high school, in life, there are surprises around every corner if you let yourself discover the wonder of it all.
So glad you liked it Ray! It is part of a second manuscript that I am shopping around right now which was so much fun to write. Happy poems once in a while are such a treat 🙂
