Melted in the pot
By cadymae
All the lives lived
In houses that are no more
The Mid century Italian weddings
With bad hair and good shoes
The early 50s jukehouses
Full of sturdy black legs lindy hopping
The knee socks and hair bows
Of thin WASP girls
who curled their hair on OJ cans
While their parents were frightened
Of the Papist bidding for the White House
They shouldn`t have worried
Assimilation killed us all
