(JCH -- 4/92)
In an abandoned school bus parking lot,
tales of school, sex, death and part-time work
the football captain
and cheerleader
leather hands on silky skin
Sucking on tits, holding onto the legacy
of his mother
Once inside, he becomes hard, rigid
and reserved; he reaches for the bottle
they talk onward, sharing stories
of obedience and abandonment
on highways
wandering, confused
and streaking...
