Smoke on the grotto
I’ve spent a lifetime
Trying to rectify things
Like why did Chip leave me
For Woody
Making him his very best friend
And then dump him
For Susan
Sitting in the gold Trans Am
Beside my brown Schwinn
And why did Terry think
PK Young the better place
to graduate
Leaving us minus a catcher
At home plate
Why did Melissa’s mother
Call her home from Blue Grotto
Yet remain silent
When wolves came near her scorekeeper?
Why did we switch making out
Places with Eva Jean and Rebecca
When I drew Eva Jean my dream
Fairly
Rock trumping scissors
Why did the afro on black magic Wanda drive me crazy
Dreaming of her in home economics class
And why did Ann overdose and die
Did she lose hope I’d come and give
her diamonds in the sky?
And how did Pam become such the artist
Teaching at the University
When all along that was my dream
And most of all
After all the Cat Stevens and Ten Years after
I went through
Why is it I still love
deep purple?
