Old Friends

we both had twisted arms at summer camp we shared generic strawberry ice cream in the infirmary
we loved staying inside because of the mosquitoes and all the other kids were faster than us
we talked about the Bermuda Triangle and ghosts and voodoo and Boy George and dogs, the way they sense bad weather and other bad stuff before it happens
we could swim but didn't want to
together we were wimps
fans of air conditioning and checkers
marked at age twelve
for miles and miles
of future heartache.
