Summertime
my first summer
with a girlfriend
I quit my job
she never went to college
orientation.
We hung out
in my basement
rented movies
and fornicated like bunnies
nomadic travelers
around the state
we slept everywhere
in her 75’ Valiant
in the park
at the movie theatres
during the matinees
we couldn’t go
to my basement
anymore
my parents were envious
that we sat around all day
and screwed
she was a born-again Christian
and I was the devil
