Billy Crudup

Last year’s crush reminds me of Billy Crudup in that
his jawline could maybe slice me in half if given the chance
I tell you He’s a New School drop out
and you say “that sounds about right”
He says he left the Midwest because that’s what you’re supposed to do
He’s not sure what his new tattoo means either he says it’s “not that deep”
It’s important to not be too attractive that way you can develop a mind he says
I burn my tongue on my $7 latte wondering if he’s talking to me or himself
The sip feels like it’s worth 75 cents maybe more
I think about this while I pull his sentence apart
