southpark volleyball (1988)

volleyball at southpark amongst the beercans
and daisies and dogshit and lazy hazy day clouds,
bare feet probably a wee bit stoned
usually frisbee or hackey alongside the net action
vagrants students and day laborers
pogo to the grass stained slap of them
worse than dirt artsy types, never let them set the
boundaries or you'll get a rhomboid
disaster that scatters the spores
of calculation to the wind

oh who's in jr. high math class anyways.

see you at 6:30
be ready to play, to blister the forearms
with blocked spikes,
lunges thru space to keep the ball up fer the ace
superstar wearing sunglasses and cutoffs and
dragging toes encrusted with
dogshit and clover
