Love July 4th

Love, the Fourth of July

A day like this
Midsummer heat
A good time for a swim
Waiting for the fireworks
A fine day for love, for sex
Babies will be conceived today
To be born in Spring
Some sweet coupling
A lot of drunken, angry fucks
Also falling in love beside the still lake
On the chill beach, all gritty and damp from a skinny dip
In the waves beating in your ears
Lots of loving in cars and trucks
In the cornfield mud between the rows- the sprinklers whirring overhead
In a red canoe on a very small pond
Up on the roof, tar melting under a cheap quilt
In a supermarket stockroom – as plastic ketchup bottles tumble
In the back of the barbershop - a boy with a crewcut finds out he’s gay
Incest in a barn full of wasps
A fading beauty goes down on the paperboy on the back porch
A priest and a nun, in the choir loft, fully clothed
Seniors in the glider behind the home hold a kiss until they are dizzy
A virgin of 33 with a big mouth discovers her new boyfriend’s very big cock
A diminutive lesbian licks the sweat from between her lover’s generous breasts
A pale youth is intoxicated by thick brown lips and tight corn rows
A rotund Polish couple, barbecue in their mouths, climax as the fireworks finish
