Where are the boys, the girls, who drank Coca Cola for five cents, who walked in life among these sights on Sunday afternoons. The strong men who were in love, the women who were beautiful, their music in the air. Sunlight fades from the summer sky; shadows grow on the mown lawn. A weathered soldier stands alone above an empty square. |

Condensation runs down green glass walls A southern town slakes their thirst for the good life. Indigo |

My dad has a fascination with commercial jingles, and he's sung me a few of those coca for five cents jingles... It sounded like a better time then now. I don't know, I wasn't there. But it's faded out as well... I just hate to think it leaves people there, standing alone... Love your writing. Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |

A keeper this is, John. Those I knew of that time back then are almost all gone, now... but some things gifted from them never fade... |
