In '72 you could still graduate
High School as a virgin, only
to throw it away first semester
at University on a girl whose name
you cannot now recall, only
the hole in the floorboard of her
67 VW, the world rushing by just
a few inches from your feet,
the awkwardness of seeing her
next day in History of Ancient
Greece, how the years have turned
your body into marble and your
memory broken like the white lines
on the highway, zipping past.
