Back to the basin cuts
chewing on monkey nuts,
short pants and shirts
girls in long skirts
and us,
the little squirts
sneaking a peek,

next week
I'll be a year older
and that'll make me?
that'll make me?
wait a coupla of mo's
need to take off my shoes
and count some more on my toes
aha
yes,
I will be thirteen, and I
might go to school as it's a
special occasion
or I might not.
