The Wolfman's Wish by J. Neff Lind

The Wolfman always left
first period history
with a headache
in his Sophomore year
he sat behind
Melissa P.
She wasn't the most
beautiful
girl in the school
but she had
a slender neck
and always came
to class
with hair
fresh from
her morning shower
still damp
and tied up
in a hasty bun.
And the Wolfman wanted
to freeze time
he concentrated
on the clock
gritting teeth
willing life
to let him have his way
just once,
If he got
the chance
he'd climb
that graceful neck
with the back of his hand
his fingertips
his knuckles
and his palms
to have the tendrils
that hung freely
with the trace
of shower water
brush against him
and to finally
remove the tie
that held her hair
and let it fall
down into his hands
across his wrists
and feel it resting there.
This is how he wished
to have his way with her.
