On the fishing dock at summer camp,
your toes go up
mine go down

Stripes and calico
Cotton and silk
Dresses for the cows
Just say no to milk

We compare lake-water drops on our legs
mine run in
yours run off

Two little ladies
Flower and wool
Run in the kitchen
‘Round the blackberry fool

Nothing tragic or sudden,
our clothes smell like red cedar oil until July.

Locked in the bathroom
Eyeliner tricks
Teach Rockestra
Those Chrissie Hynde licks

7-6-5-4…
Merrill Aldighieri stole rock and roll
