young and awkward
of arms and legs
of heart and thought
still, there was that mountain you needed to climb
to finally put imagination
to the test
and just . . . do-it
for the first time
virgin-no-more
thank all the gods for giving you the moment
and Alma, oh, yes
thank the gods for Alma
now you're a man
a pimple-faced one for sure
but you have done-it
later, as you think about
it, and having done-it
you are shocked, quite unexpectedly
with the boldness in the backseat of your dads Merc
with Alma
thank the gods for Alma
her fears came to forefront
what-if-I-get-pregnant
but she didn't
this time
later she did, not by you
somehow you knew
in the stifling Arkansas heat
your life would be filled with carnal desire
for you had barely scratched that itch
