Oodles of Purpose

There’s the girl with oodles and noodles of long blonde hair,

She meekly glanced around, does she catch your stare?

Small and determined, his truth turned to dare,

A boy sneaks to Great Wall for a .25 cent gumball ring in despair.

A high pitch cackle, the ring sails through the air,

Landing in the rubbish bin with not 1 care.

She snarks, chuckles, a small vein glare.

His choice to come forward is foreign, undocumented, she made this clear.

Essential to the process though, the story ended there.

A boy lives through his first “no” from oodles and noodles of hair.
