walking slow, oh it could be called dancing
crowded with Bourbon Street night people
music filling the air, we stop every so often
wrapped arms around each other and swayed

firing up to the already hot-blood New Orleans
seems to affect all the out-of-town tourists and
the nights are specially made for physical reaction
big easy, sin city, whatever, a city of cool coitus

her willowy body pressed so close to mine
her face in my neck nuzzling and groping
I feel her eyelashes teasing, pleasing, my neck
we're fused together with lover's super glue

she broke away, her café au lait eyes dancing
as she tiptoed up to speak softly in my ear
in her intense and absolute Cajun accent
sha, we gon stay out heah on da street all night

lovely Denise didn't need to say anymore
I danced her back to her pad above Galatoire's
and it wasn't just to get the grime off when
we showered with plenty of soap and water

Yes, I guess I did some. But I always will regret missing out on a certain one. Thank you for stopping by, Lori.

Ah, memories. What in the world would we do without them when we reach a certain age? Thank you, Karen.

Thank you, James. No, once they rebuild they lose a lot of character that was there which can't be replaced.

There are no streets like that one in my little town. The city put up street lamps that echo the gas lamps of yesteryear, but nearly all the shops are empty and abandoned in Old Town.  Only a few seedy bars remain, and the street lamps will wait a long time for lovers.  As for City Hall, I have to shake my head.  They could have done better putting the street lights out on the dunes.  They defintely do not want my two cents worth.  

Your poem made me smile, though!

Hey there you're smokin man!
I bet you're glad that lover's super glue isn't like the real stuff..........

What can I say, right out of the mind of a talented novelist.
You're good just good!
