Susan's Credentials

Summer

Remember the way they rattled,

the coins on the dash as we

drove over washboard roads,

in perpetual pursuit of something to do?

 

We were nonstop restless

drowning in summer heat and itching

to wrap ourselves in some sort of

mischief or mayhem or both.

 

She will respect this, we said,

as we dove from the cliff above the quarry

splashing into breath-taking water

desperate to impress.
