Off 101 When I was seventeen my boyfriend had a Harley Davidson That summer I loved to ride with him across the Golden Gate As we rumbled along the highway, six lanes became two And the ends of my hair prickled my shoulders, flying While I'd squeeze him when we leaned into the curves My shirt buzzed behind me like a flag in a gale And the wind tore at my back and bare ankles and Through my jeans I could feel the sun burning down. We'd stop in an old whitewashed diner, screen doors and ceiling fans Eat cheeseburgers and cherry coke, on red vinyl and chrome Then lazing on the bench outside, we'd smoke cigarettes, our raybans on Swishing flies in the shade, and eucalyptus leaves shimmering over our heads We watched the shadows stretch away from us Across the pavement in perfect golden silence Thus fortified, we'd swing our denim legs over the seat again Back onto the roaring bike and headed back to the city My fingers curled under his belt, my cheek pressed against his back And smiling, smiling, smiling. Annika:- "Oh, do not ask, 'What is it?' Let us go and make our visit." -Eliot [This message has been edited by A. L. Becker (09-09-2002 06:22 PM).] |

Regards, Sudhir P.S and thanks for the many kind replies to my posts too... P.P.S. you might want to run a spell check for a few words in this one |

*smiling* ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |
