This was written back in college thinking about Lynn, a girl in my Physics class, who was a sophomore when I was a freshman. She worked as a "Programming Assistant", helping other students with their programming problems. If I hit an especially difficult snag, I would ask her...she'd just say that if it was difficult for me than she certainly couldn't help, she was there for less advanced students - but maybe I could help her with the crossword puzzle she was doing!
PUZZLE
always interrupted by those who come for help
your attention analysis and bottomless eyes
that drain their efforts of their errors
your concentration dissolves in the arch of your neck
your body edging forward to examine closer
your velvet blue jeans frame the motion of your thighs
and then your pencil beacons their mistakes
that crossword puzzle something I can do with you
seeking words the papers want also finding how I want
to meet your eyes again and chill your thigh with feather hand
and count your hair with my caresses introduce allseeing tongues
and feel the head accumulate between us join us
why do I not touch I know you will not curse
or start at me and backhand my devotion
what stops me but the threat of gentle explanation
syrup dipped rejection loving you are not enough
please understand I do not wish to hurt you
I find the words not that I need but satisfy
the vacant squares you fill with what I say
but my silence is unknown unheard unfilled
and more come needing your assistance
aside again I watch your lips glide from your teeth
I need your guidance so much more than they
but no right to demand it's not your job
