give

i'd give you the world
if you'd give me the curled,
fickle strands of your shiny black hair

you give me a laugh
and i'd give you just half
of a puzzled and slimy blank stare

just gimme a throw
and i'll give you a glow
that your friends will remark on for days

so give me a chance
and a wide-open stance
and i'll give you a layer of glaze
