He is chubby-cheeked still, and he clutches the controller
She is third best in her class, someone says, “that’s the
girl with no friends”
When they kiss he is the first boy to touch her molars
He is as clammily warm and charming as the evening extends
All five of his sisters are older than he
And her younger sister is, if possible, more awkward and
reserved
He’s afraid to buy condoms because of uncomfortable he would
be
They both got more than they deserved
His parents got their very grandchild
From their youngest and most unmarried son
But the wedding is Christian and quick and unwild
Nursing school can wait, she knows, he’s the one
And the night is unusually cool for the late July
When the windows are open and the outdoors are dry
July 25
