SUMMERTIME


Summertime is always
Sudden on the Northern East Coast

Women in mini-skirts
Swinging their hips

Conducting with their arms and
Creating earthquakes with their breasts

They are taking New York

Gimme back my winter

Or take me back to a rainy fall
When the streets are deserted
Untouched and never walked upon
By women

It’s hard to walk down the streets
With a hard on
