sitting in a movie theater in the dark brings back great memories of girlfriends
I don’t remember the movies so much
me and my three closest friends I don’t know catching the afternoon matinee
after the film, hang around the park for a while
tuesday afternoon - just beginning to feel the cold raindrops falling on me
took the last train to Clarksville but no one was there to meet me at the station
so I got back on board and headed south
walking down the streets of Key West now
looking decidedly un-tourist like
more like an escapee/refugee from somewhere
keeping an eye out for Hemingway...just in case
you can go crazy fearing the future or take it one day at a time
moment to moment as it comes ready or not
so I meet this woman on the beach that at first intrigued me
she had an air of mystery about her that in my younger days
I would have found fascinating, but now didn’t pique my interest
I don’t play games anymore, no longer a playa
lay your cards down on the table and I’ll do the same
two threes, a five, a seven and a nine
what did you expect?
watching the sun go down with strangers around
bobbing around in the golden glow
swimming in the ocean tonight under a sea of stars
in the blackness of the night, I hoped my troubles couldn’t find me
