Peppermint Twist

Christopher Hivner

I followed your every step,

breathing in the mint

of your breath,

fitting my foot

into the print of yours,

a delightful game

to play on a warm

summer evening.

A word of advice though,

next time

don’t make it so easy

for me to follow.

Ha ha,

what am I saying?

There isn’t going to be

a next time,

ha ha.

Now where did I lay

that hack saw.
