(SPRING TIME) OFF EMERY
by C. Allen Rearick
The streets are lined with
abject backsliders.  You
know the type; mischief-
makers cajoling with

the fourteen year old
neighbor girl.  The one
whose stand-still thighs
and rock-ribbed breasts

burst out laughing in a
tee-hee manner because
you're twenty-six and she
knows you're peeling

her with serpent eyes,
all the while manufacturing
reasons to stand ham-
handed on the back

porch.  And that foot-
dragging son-of-a-bitch
glows rays of wonder as
a half frozen breeze winks

in admiration, more likely than
not brain-working an adjacent
thought.  And  you, you sick
fucker, jealous 'cause it's not

you who's innocently brushing
up against her statutory body.
But that's alright,
because in twenty-

five minutes you'll be
blind-drunk off stale
Budweiser, she-bopping in
the bathroom to blooming

tulips and fresh daisies.
