The Red Blanket and the Rubber

Two blankets on the dry grass at the far side of the open field. One red one and one small, pink one off a girl's bed. Off to the side, a ball cap, a knapsack, and a sad, empty, bottle of root beer. One pocket of the knapsack held one Durex, latex condom. In Spanish, on the side of the foil packet, “1 condon de latex”. the other pocket – a large tin of Tea Tree , water-based, pomade nearly gone. inside the knapsack in the big pocket - school books, notebooks pens and pencils. The front of the math folder read “math blows”. Last night, little Johnny met his girl at the park for some love making. The left hurriedly, or were scared off by a coyote or deer in the tall grass. Little Bobbie went home without his school books and his hat, but left with pomade in his hair and the smell of his girl on his clothes and her taste in his mouth.
