Take Me Into the Middle of Friday Night

How can I begin the true
of Friday night
when the crickets are humming
and make me remember
all the best and the worst summers
with their constancy?

How can I open this screen door
and feel all the need that is
in the black cool of Friday night
when love is all over the city
pouring its noisy sigh
and the hills are covered
with dark headlights of love?.

I feel Friday night true of holding hands
and the movie only flicking
like a theatre of candles
and the stars,
oh, they are coupled and smooching
in rows of love
that cannot wait.

Take me into the middle of Friday night
when again time ripples with possibility
and music plays across cushioned car’s
seat where love is saved by changing gears
and first is too high and third too low
and in neutral you fly, baby, you fly.

Do I grieve a lost summer when I waited
and the window left you behind
somewhere where youth is just hormones
full of longing?

No, but

How can I begin the true
of Friday night
when the crickets are humming
and make me remember
all the best and the worst summers
with their constancy?
