"It was first grade

His name was Jacob.

He was the smelly kid

and he loved me.

He gave me a .25 cent ring.

He was my first grade boyfriend."

"We snuck away from our desks

We hid in the coat rack

Jacob had a tiny hole

in his pants.

He showed me something.

I was startled. "

"We shared our first kiss

On the fuzziest carpeted steps

I had ever sat on."

My mother, cousins, and I ca. 1989
