DRIVING IN A DREAM

11-17-92

 

Two bodies pressed together in passion-

He retracts suddenly;

"I think I could use a drink."

A breeze whistled through the windows.

And she noted his cat had scarred his

cheek yet again.

She remembers a Saturday night

on the front porch swing with him,

Looking out on his rusty old Chevy.

Hearing a guitar screech down the block.

All these thoughts flicker in the

few minutes since she turned off to

Grandpa's.

Looking up, she sees him sitting in

his metal fold-up chair.

Waving.
