Florida Boy

A poem by Mariah Papaya

The Boy From Florida

Was a Military Man

Stationed In Japan

He Talked Of Long Flights

And His Ears Popping

And Leaving His Friends

And His Head Throbbing

We Shared Our Love of Music

And Movies

And Of Course

Our Small Shoe Collection

I Wish We

Weren’t Oceans Apart

And We Could Speak Again

He’s Special to Me

I Hope He Will Understand

The Florida Boy

Who’s A Military Man

Stationed In Japan
