THAT SUMMER
May EP

that summer they came
to chainsaw the trees
that the beatles had scarred
with their dreaded disease
and so many tears
poured right out of your head
stay in the big pillow
in your brothers bed

that evening you snuck in
a passionate kiss
beneath the old bandstand
and your lovers lips
were all honeysuckle
and slippery teeth
and together you laughed
in the darkening breeze

that fourth of july
you giggled and waved
the jewel of the float
in the big town parade
look at this picture, there's no evidence
that you didn't feel right, and never have since
