her name was jennifer.
her hair was long,
down her back in a cascade of blonde.
it was the summer.
she was young.
the skies were blue as her eyes -
each day a song, a surprise.
her name was jennifer.
her hair was long.

his name was jefferson.
his skin was brown
as a walnut from the tree on the ground.
it was the summer.
he was young.
the air was warm as his eyes -
each day a song, a surprise.
his name was jefferson.
his skin was brown.

it was a small town
and people didn't understand.
