August Mondays

They speak of wars and movies
as their hands wrinkle in the pool.
Their age spots crease and the sun
gives them wrinkles on their wrinkles.
Still, Audrey Hepburn and Charlie Chaplin,
symphonies and Legion dances,
jitterbug and milkshakes and back
in the day, my hair was just like yours.
I curled my hair, she said,
and my oh my those boys,
they came running.
