At the CASCADE
drive in
charging per person-
And CASH ONLY PLEASE
slipping from hand to hand
don't let your headlights show
used to cruise through at intermission
trying for two in one night
two for the price of one
two in the rumble seat
lower than grass-
And stinging steam on her welts
they came in through power windows
I like the way Daddy does it
by the hair
pirates on the Big Screen
teenagers on the gravel next door
or either of those could have been love
And tuned in to **.* FM
I came for Him
trembling wired waves-
And red in the backseat
the cracker box
a gym in my high school
my first something
He found mine
And dusk fell
SCARLET STARLET
Should we testify
Smoldering cigarette left on the edge
Undo your blouse and throw back your head
She lets it fall black and bends on the bed
Huff
He'll climb tomorrow like tangerine stairs
Ready to roll and denying the pear
Will she go dry
Mother would never have done such a thing
"To Lady, your breath and your posture must shrink-
Early your mornings and fear of the drink"
Puff
He'll let it go like bugs in a jar
Sad to release and feeling like stars
Can this be decent
Sitting up quickly the sheet to her chest
Kick off the man again, darkly get dressed
Homeward to swallow some air and confess
Enough
He'll awake lonely like lamps in the parlor
Drunken on hot, sweat, false, and ardor
