yeah, yeah boys
boys don’t really know
the secret of their wanting,
of summer girls in jean shorts
with long, chestnut hair
and sweat propped on their upper lips
but they do know that Aslan
and the Beatles
and expensive whiskey, stolen by the thimbleful
from Dad’s unlocked liquor cabinet
hold them…
(tumbling somersaults down
ravines they were warned to stay clear of)
…eye level with the mystery.
