Flirting in July

you very little and mischievous
woman
as a misplaced
comma you lie
next to me as if I were a
nother person on the beach
on a little summer’s half past twelve we
lie
all the time, all time rebellious and nude
as if a painting or a singing or
a syntax so desperately
;;wrong you lay i like you
’re right
all is one, all one (like a misplaced rain)
o’clock
