Promposal

from High School by Maggie Morgan

lyrics

Khaki pants, Cafeteria buzz
Surrounded by Chatty Cathy’s and Lucy’s in Love
Pisces season, Prom’s coming up
And every girls’ fingers are crossed under the table at lunch

In little glances, and mouths opening up
A whisper to a friend about - “Hey look over there…” it’s quite abrupt
I can’t see, when the wrestlers stand up
Hey, sit down, you morons, I can tell they’re on the cusp
Of greatness, And I wanna see it, when they fall

I turn my head across the room
Slow motion, fist of blue balloons
Behind the poster, hold your breath
O, Holy Founders, pray she’ll say yes

Phones out, cameras on
Hey, take a picture, it’ll probably last longer than
This fleeting romance, hydrogen bond -
I see him at his table, trying to look nonchalant

And unbothered, but something’s wrong -
He’s probably thinking about her, and how he wishes he could take her to prom
I wonder if I, look just as sad and withdrawn
How long will I string myself along?

I turn my head across the room
Slow motion, fist of blue balloons
Her favorite color, great foresight
Don’t worry, it’ll be alright
Commotion across the dining hall
And hey, I don’t know you at all
But I see him in the corner of my eye
It will be fine, I’m still alive
Your life is something you should love
You get the chance to man right up
And know that she will say I do
I live vicariously through you
My heart skips looking at his face
A moment, I don’t feel so disgraced
I cannot help I’m dumb and young
I’m sad now, so hurry up, I want it to be done
