the meaning of “whistle”

soldiers4hire

headphones play Paul Simon's “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard” 

listen to the same 28 years later when you realize you’re like everyone else 

research firearms [your pa calls them whistles] do you really want to know?

the first time someone teaches you how to grass blow 

whistle at a girl that you probably know is too young but aren’t you a wolf

it's late at night and you can hear it in the dark whistling like something familiar

his voice after a lifetime of smoke and asbestos 

made first from bird bone he learned in a college class a long time ago

YMCA camp neon glitter plastic you thought it was silly got lost and cried for home

kissing and you remember that one video you found in 7th grade “Wet my Whistle baby” [Smplgrls] doesn't compare does it

red tea kettle almost boils over you think of trains as your ma pours you a cup
