13 ways to look at a girl

Erik Zetterberg

Why I come to school

Why I’m not a tool

The best thing on earth

The worst thing on earth

Summer days in swimsuits

Winter nights in coats

Someone I need to see

More than you can believe

A flicker of hope

A life saving rope

It’s hard to say when

You act in that way

Feeding my head

Fantasies fed

I don’t believe

Your interest in me

Soon to be old but

Now they are young

Wasting my time

Looking at you

Can’t tell my parents

But they see me everyday

The give me every word

So that my poems work

Why are you here with me

Instead of anywhere
