Today’s Music: Sonny and Cher – The Beat Goes On
Days Til Spring: 66
Dark stage, single pinpoint spot, slowly widening…
You could have my heart
*snap*
If you hadn’t taken it already
*snap snap*
You can walk my path
*clap clap*
straight, true and steady
*snap*
You can take all I own
*swirls drink*
word and song
*puts on Ray Bans*
If it feels so right
*soft whistle*
it can’t be wrong
*adjusts beret*
Do what you do
*long exhale*
in any shape form or kind
*cigarette drag*
but I just have to tell you,
*steely glare*
the remote control is MINE.

Dig it.
Yeah man...

Hi,
I do remember this “era”. What I remember, and will always remember is this guy that I met, to cut a long story short, on our 1st date, he took me to a weird looking place a bit dark inside, and yes it all began, the words, the finger snapping, and I thought to myself, what on earth am I doing here. 😆
Loved your beatnik poetry, and of course it would not be right with out the “snap”. 😀
