Perfection Walking
He's perfect, from his head to his toes. Everything about him excites me and makes me wonder what it would be like to be with him.
He's so wonderful, so amazing, so sly, so adorable. He's winter in its snowy beauty and spring in its comforting warmth. He's intelligent in the ways of the street and senseless in the ways of love. He knows how to treat his friends, and he knows when it's time to back down from a fight, but when he feels the desire, he will fight and he will cheer, and he will win.
He's so much older than he acts; sucking on his thumb while he sleeps, skipping in the streets, snickering at every crude joke and swear word Jack can give… no one would guess he's really sixteen. Only his height could hint at that.
Dark brown hair, sweet and thick, hidden beneath the hat that serves as a trademark. Deep eyes, hidden beneath darling, thick eyebrows, eyes that call to me while I sleep, sweetening even the sweetest dreams. His face is long; mouth full; teeth endearingly large, and the white color of fresh-fallen snow; shoulders sloped so perfectly and delicately that he had to have been upper-class before he came to the Distribution Center, before he came to be a newsie.
His hands are long, with longer fingers, perfect for his hobby, his work; thieving. Picking pockets. They're swift, soft, slick, daring, darling… perfection.
He shouts his headlines. He laughs at Race's insults. He spends his time with Itey, Jake, Dutchy. He dances divinely, steals sneakily, sings superbly.
He is perfection walking.
He is my Snitch.
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't finely hone
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
Sweetest injection
Of any kind
I stop and I stare too much
Afraid that I care too much
And I hardly dare to touch
For fear that the spell may be broken
When I need a drug in me
And it brings out the thug in me
Feel something tugging me
Then I want the real thing not tokens
The sweetest perfection...
Things you'd expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
I know that nothing can stop me
Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade
The sweetest perfection...
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
Nothing can stop me
