like fishing line cast into
swift moving waters
Already mid-July

Heat wave breaks
Rumbles of thunder
promise that soon fat raindrops
will bring refreshment.
Last days of school
Nobody wants to
be there. Even the teachers
sit, watching the clock.
Restaurant training (sanctioned pigout)
Expected to know
all the dishes, servers eat
the entire menu.
First job
At the interview
J’s hired on the spot, full of
new employee glee.
Job search
Panera’s didn’t
call, nor Applebee’s. Rejec-
tion’s hard at sixteen.
J’s prom dress
She said she felt like
a fairy princess, draped in
blue with beaded swirls.
Honey, I’m home!
Has it really been
a month since I told you all
about my day, dear?
Harrison Ford
He doesn’t have to
do anything but show up.
Fame does that for you.
Senior Ball
Formally over
twelve years of learning to look
good on this one night.
