we dry and stack laundry
towels blankets summer

children with paper lanterns
play in town

listen girls stop talking
 
 
cherry blossoms
smiling footsteps
 
 
 
behind the building dumpsters overflow

rival salon girls smoke and chatter metal bracelets
itching their thin legs

cherry blossoms in the bed of my truck
 

that one goofy guy who drives a van
is giving everybody the eye
