I ride my bike past your office
because
you say the secretary thinks
I’m cute,
you say it makes you smile.
I stop and wave and she opens
the door and winks and says with
hard Rs, “Ya gonna give it to me
when ya go straight, right?’
I wink back and smile as I ride off,
“Sure thing!”
That night we made love and slept
in each other’s arms: safe in the
childhood of our 20’s.

That last line, man. I love it. The entire post is beautiful, as is the picture. Goes hand in hand, for lack of a better term. Hey, how are you doing Robert? I’m reconnecting with people from my old blog. Anyhoo, keep on churning out the good stuff from your brain factory. Mad respect.

I wrote the first draft of the writing in 1985 and took the photo in 2012 and didn’t know what to do with either until about a week ago. I’m glad they came together. Thank you for your comment.
