day 1

1972
teen age sex
under a cheesy moon
eight track plays
croce low
time in a bottle
sets the mood
top down gives
us more room
you borrowed
yr sister’s
28 days of kama sutra
we had 20 minutes
before the porch light
came on
i prayed for 27 more
days just like
this one

  4. Excellent, Scot, the Jim Croce tune and the purloined Kama Sutra were evocative instruments in this piece. Ah, the anxieties of young love, blindly rushing fast into the future …

    Oh, time in a bottle is one of my faves,
    and this poem made me laugh a little,
    as I remember a similar time once!

    The title of this works very well. Good ending too.

  8. Memories come flooding back. I can feel a certain tension in this poem. Nicely written.

    Come and join my weekly poetry prompt on my website if interested.

    Puts me in mind of Meatloaf’s Paradise by the dashboard light! Ah teenage angst and hormones…

    I really liked the contrast between 28 days and 20 minutes.
