It Rained in Princeton

The lesbians (the real kind)
haul two-piece bird-baths
to the sopping car.
the soggy trunk
and propped, rusted grease
understood its duty.

dressed like twin couches
in shag Missouri family dens
their hair entangled in
prescription eye-ware;
their hair like elderly candy
at the Strip-mall bistro.

Definitely reads well to the new Peter and the Wolf album, specifically the fourth track, titled "Fireflies," tho I don't think fireflies were in Princeton during the writing of this poem, tho I could be wrong. It also goes well with Charles O. in my head, since I've been reading his Selected all day.
