| "and the coming of the night time"
...if i could speak, it would be thru your lips as you silently sing along to the radio, dancing while standing up on the front seat, you know every word and the radio plays every one of your favorite songs as we travel the desert along highway 69, stopping at every amusement park and carnival along the way where age is measured by strips of tape along an old stick...the f.b.i. and s.w.a.t teams always hold their fire while your dancing...it's a deal i made a long time ago but you wanted to come with me anyway...you said you wanted to dance forever and the stars were in your eyes and the cactus beckoned like wise old allies and i could swear i could hear the voice of that old fox, don coyote...the trickster said turn left and the gas station would be there after a few hundred miles...i asked if you if i should trust him and you danced enigmatically and shrugged your bare tan shoulders, your pink straps slipping down slightly...the road shifts and i strain for the deleted lines of my favorite song from long ago... |
