maybe it doesn't matter
too young for Woodstock
too old for Barbie dolls
I wore blue denim bell-bottoms
sometimes flowers in my hair
she arrived with summer wind
my friend Squeek
wild one exuding sensuality
as easy as breathing
making testosterone go crazy
she ran with bad boys
let me tag-a-long
one brief friendship then
she was gone
vanished like summer sun
what did she see in me
the dumpy ugly fat girl
maybe she was dream
maybe she was lesson
maybe it doesn't matter
fifty years later I'm still groovy
damned near perfect
I think about her and wonder
