She and Me
I sit in a chair
 Attached to the desk
 By a metal bar.
 
 She sits the same way
 Across the room from me.
 
 Our eyes meet,
 And she looks away
 Me blushing with guilt
 At being caught.
 
 This is socially acceptable.
 This is even normal.
 
 So why do I feel
 Such guilt?
 
 Why should I have to worry
 About being caught
 And shunned
 And called names?
 
 I suppose it’s a moot point anyway.
 (she already has a girlfriend-
 I can see them, now, in the hall,
 Holding hands and being accepted
 By everyone else.
 
 Why can’t that be me?)
