going on and on about being in love
 
 with a girl:
 
 their meeting, touching
 
 accidentally, connecting
 
 immediately, interwoven
 
 hand in hand, heart-to-heart.
 
 And even though I loved my sister
 
 had accepted her eccentricities
 
 I found it hard
 
 to listen to detailed
 
 descriptions, abstract
 
 ambitions, relevant
 
 observations, hers and mine.

 Mom and Scott
 
 wandered over to the group
 
 picnic area to join the company
 
 brownnosers and nibble.
 
 Leigh and Jake went off together,
 
 racing to see who could reach
 
 the top of Black Widow first.
 
 Trent hit the wave pool.
 
 Sarah hit the bathroom—she always
 
 showered before entering the pool.
 
 I opted for an inner-tube float along
 
 the Lazy River, mostly because of this
 
 very cute lifeguard, perched overhead.
 
 And there was Bree, smiling seductively,
 
 and I swear that poster boy lifeguard
 
 smiled right back.
