Rod McKuen at a Garage Sale
We don’t know who Baby Booger
and Tommie were
They sent each other notes
and underlines
And colored slips of paper
from page to page
In Someone’s Shadow (“Hardbacks 25 Cents”)
The exuberance of adolescent
arcs
Reminds us of our long-ago
callow youth
When we thought we had discovered
something
In secretly sharing free
verse in home room
And we had – indulging in
forbidden lines
Is still good therapy for
being sixteen
