No one is happy
to be Bill or Brian or Joe.
Those are names
for teachers, parents, distant aunt
Here
Bill is the Bopper,
Brian is Snake
(for build not deeds),
Joe, the pitcher, is, of course,
Gas.
The others -
Scooter, Hoot, and Toots
Whale, Spunky, Goofy -
know who's who,
celebrate themselves,
singing their names
till they fill the air
of sweet summer nights.
