White-hot love letters
burning into sand.
These saddle shoes
are smeared with blood.
Tear off the buckle on
the back of your pants.
It doesn’t belong there.
Later they can all
remove their socks.
Socks in human history
are covered with skin.
White bucks are
white white white.
Put yourself in the back
seat of the big fins.
Dream a little dream.
They are building
giant four-lanes
you can roar down
when you learn to drive.
Keep your shirt on
till it’s over.
Hide under the chair.
We are nuclear.
