The Girl

The girl in my life
Is something to behold
She is not fat not skinny
and she's not old
The girl in my life
Goes to work in town
And we go together and lie down
This striking female
This singular lover of the summer sun
Induces me to laugh a while
And even to make rude fun
Though her teeth are sharp
And her tongue is barbed
She does not give a thought about
Life or love or subtlety or kissing in the dark
or nights alone
