“Sunshine

I met Lori in the seventies
shortly thereafter
I christened her “Sunshine”
which is my wont

She was the second girl
so blessed (?)
(“Sunshine”, the first
along with “Smoky” and “Mouse”
were no longer in my picture).

My new “Sunshine and I
would use one another
to startle the boredom
and quench basic yearnings

Though she was grand company
in her peppy, perky
high and firm
in all the nice ways
fashion

It was a wonder that we got along
at all

Her earnestness did
temper my cynicism
a bit
But my “wit”
often left her perplexed
dulling her shine
a bit

Even our drugs of choice
like prints and plaids
clashed

We were fond enough, though
of each other,
that we celebrated her leaving

to live happily ever after
and make sandals with
“Billy the Biker”
(the one that collected
Law Enforcement Badges
from Law Enforcement Officers),
by quenching the hell
out of some basic yearning.

I missed her,
but was happy for her.

Besides,
“Belle”
was soon to enter the picture

Very good wranx...sometimes, even the briefest
of moments can leave the nicest memories

Seymour - thank you, for commenting on this.

Lady in white - some, alas, are briefer than others

Madam "C" -  true colors, yes, and indelible.

BS - I figure, that if you don't like the memories you got...make up some new ones. But, I think I'll keep mine.
Thanks,

~wranx

Forgive dear "D", You know that I'll always save my deepest darkest for you.
