The Ballad of the Busboy

If only I had the same
pomegranate palms
tangerine phalanges
fizzypop fingernails
that the shortskirt sugarplum fairies
carry on the ends of their arms
when they dance in the dreams of
every boy who ever lived
For now I can barely talk
them into dining from my finest
china let alone eating out of
my perpetually sweatsoaked sootstained
soft as hardwood hands
