Fall of 66
as hormones rage and curves
entrance.  Classical tunes blaring
against the mirror as base feeds
the brain on high volume.

Pep rallies of short skirts and
long legs, long sighs and short
dreams.  Pom Poms dancing
as jiggles jumble the eyes and
drools drip the lip upon the skip
of beat.

Hot cars and warm girls, nights
at the local drive-in where many
a window fogged and who knows
how the flick ended.   Finger prints
and hearts on the glass as giggles
moved the jiggles and skins
touched in tremble as lips touched
tenderly against hot breath and
White Shoulders...

Kill the dome light, seconds on popcorn,
slip out the door, buckle and zip, catch
an ear of who’s who outside the restroom
as cigarettes glow the night and
intermission cools the lust....

Fall of 66 and tender traces, romantic
spaces...name of the flick....

Not a clue!!!

As a person who missed the age of the drive-ins... this gave me a taste of their glory and the age in which they lasted. Well done.

Barry,
That was before my time...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
