First Love

 
i.
When school lets out
We head to the zoo

Where sometimes we give
The beasts new names

And other times we
Just switch their signs.


ii.

Evening and morning came
And went, and it was good.

We spent the whole weekend
Camping, mostly naked.

Green herb for meat. No need
To stray far from our tent.


iii.

We met a dude named Nash
And followed him to his camp

Where we got smashed like rain.
Who knows who touched whom first

But she was smiling at him,
I think, therefore I drank another drink.


iv.

We couldn't look at each other
But she slapped me and

I shoved her and we forced
Ourselves to. Powerless

I took her on leaves and thorns
And tore ourselves to sleep.
