that summer at camp

Jon Nakapalau

one of the counselors really liked the three stooges 

and we watched them on 8mm projector
after dinner in the cafeteria every night

still smelling the left over food
and watching the moths suicide dance

in front of screen
and even back then i wondered

why they would ride dust particulate beams
when the full moon was just outside

with cool light that did not demand
death for brightness in the few weeks

before fall fell.
