John Lennon's Girl

written by: Robbie Masso

@robbie.masso

The radio played Twist & Shout.
I danced with the invisible dream.
I had to work up the courage
to lie about being social.

Her opinion matters to me
even though I hate her mind.
I’m settling.
My own company isn’t enough anymore.
Of Mice & Men, Lennie.

I was more outgoing in deja vu.
Cancer stick strength.
She puts out my cigarette
and starts the song over.

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
