Well-Mannered Kids (the St. Thomas University School Year Has Begun)

something faintly fetid-smelling

fall leaves swirling in eddies 
far below

this jagged limestone rim

not as hard on my back as it might be

sunny spot

t-shirt folded under my tush

fresh charcoal-pile right there at the edge

someone had a party here not long ago

how friendly it must have been!

boys and girls together

in shorts barefoot, such
sweet pheromones in the air! but I swear

no one took their pants off
