fifty-seven minute love story played by 45 rpms
estate sale crossing roads
she’s deep in the record box
he searching for 60s rock pops in
fall green long dressing she
he black leather coated elf
his fingers itching vinyl feels
who wants what
let’s share a deal
mustang sally she
he hang on sloopy
two bucks fifty cents each
one hundred plus rpms buys
front lawn finger pickings
she gifts him delta dawn
and mrs brown you’ve got a lovely daughter
he sends aretha franklin her way
box ends
she drives him
crystal glasses boxed all
porch side smiles
street sends
parting fifty-seven minutes after getting started
after glow
like a slow burn
a maze is
Stay Awhile by The Bells
om mani padme hum jewel in the lotus wahupa qi prana universal life energy

You did a great job of weaving these titles together. I don’t know all of them, but I recognize most. I think you can print this as a final draft. 🙂

Thanks Johnny. 🙂 Most of the songs are a quick listen online if you’re interested. Yeah, tt’s pretty close to a final draft. Hope it lightened your mood a little.

Oh this brought back memories of going to auctions with my friends in Nebraska…how we would share our fines and laugh at our indecisions…love the poem.

Hey Charles, Good times, huh? Do you have rummage/estate/garage/yard/jumble sales in you current neck of the woods?
Funny how some things just come together. Poem has been on my mind stove for a few days. Might need a tad more tweeking but at the moment I’m good with it.

Eva,
There are no words to express the feeling this piece evokes. I feel as if I’ve been transformed and transfixed into another time and place. Beautiful! Thank you! The song is a nice touch–I had forgotten about this one!
Wow! 🙂

Hello Deborah.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful response to my poem. I hope the good vibes stay with you.
The song–The Bells were in the box so it seemed an appropriate closer.
