All the houses you've lived in
on all those streets
The husbands and daughters
Tough girls in high school
with razor sharp bones
Boyfriends and dancing cheek to cheek
in lonely cars on starry nights
Front porches cement steps aluminum awnings
Fly paper fluorescent light
Fluorescent white lips
Marilyn Monroe
small-waisted dresses
High balls high heels
ice clinking
True love
humid American nights
I want to be young with you
watch in the bathroom mirror as you put on eyeliner
before a big date
