1950’s Girl Thinking about Love
On a Sweltering Summer Day

Marilyn Buck

                 [This poem is read by Uchechi Kalu. ]

your love would be
like popping the cap off
a green-glass Coke bottle
frosty cold sweaty
from the ice chest
at the Mojave desert “last stop”
filling station

August 1998
