In his old-fashioned neighborhood
the girls still jump-rope
with rhymes
Starting with five girls, the one
about him:
“Old Moe.
He still don't know.
He’s never known it.
It it it it it.”
And continues:
“He’ll never know,
o no!
O ho, ho, HO!”
On the third, emphatic one, a girl
is forced out.
And sits and stares at him, the knives
of her knees wide.
