More Lion For Real – Gregory Corso’s Story

Gregory Corso

Gregory Corso’s Story

The first time I went
to the country to New Hampshire
when I was about eight
there was a girl I always used to paddle with
with a plywood stick.

We were in love,
so the last night there
we undressed in the moonlight
and showed each other our bodies,
then we ran singing back to the house.

Moonlight by Maxfield Parrish
