Snippet+Poem

__ Sally __ And to love and no one would call that crazy Eyes like Egypt Nylons the color or smoke Hair is shiny black like feathers To be this beautiful is trouble Sally! And to love and no one would call that crazy There is no one to lend you a hair brush Alone with your eyes closed as if no one was watching Why do you always have to go home after school? To the house you can’t come out from Sally? And to love and no one would call that crazy Do you sometimes wish you didn’t have to come home? Feet, taking you far away from Mango Street Maybe your feet would stop in front of a house, a nice one. Where a room is waiting for you Sally… And to love and no one would call that crazy Windows would swing open, all the sky would some in   No more nosy neighbors watching No motorcycles and cars Nobody would think you were strange because you like to dream and dream Sally! And to love and no one would call that crazy And no one would yell at you, leaning against somebody Without saying it is was wrong Without the whole world waiting for you to make a mistake When all you wanted, all you wanted, Sally, Was to love and to love and to love and to love, And no one would call that crazy
