School Never Did Interest Me Much

If you forget me,

I want you to know

I want to be a scholar.

Teach me

The language of you

Every accent

Every dialect

I want to learn every tense

I want to master the prose of your skin

Teach me

The geometry of your emerald eyes

When they

Meet mine

I want to learn each theorem

I want to know each conic section of your gaze

Teach me

The chemistry of us

Every kiss

Every embrace

When your tender lips brush my flesh

I want to learn the proper chemical bond

I want to be a scholar in the ways

Of you

Of us

Of this
