In the youth camp In the archery ranges I take aim just past where i can see In the moonlight I swim across the lake To meet my girl with the indiscriminate hair To fish out carcasses of lacklustre love They left in the lake for us To ponder over like good students of nature In the schoolyard The parking lot I hesitate to watch you get out of a car In the bleachers Behind the playing field I crouched down with a girl much shorter than me She says an old-spelt truth And cracks and says, "did you see the game last night? It makes me wish that i could be in a class on chemistry." But i'm too young for the physical science So i just acted for compliance with her I'm quite helpful for providing the quiet I got short busted, i'm good for this sort of thing Seeking out the small and insignificant things That someone had lost at night While they were throwing up safely out of sight from me
