it still isn’t summer
girls aren’t sashaying
skin everywhere
between the cars
and little kids
with families aren’t dumping
ice cream upsidedown
in car interiors
and parents aren’t
shouting at them
It’s just a cold
night in May
and we’re flirting
with frost
instead of girls
and it’s my heart
in the dumps
in this parking lot
