the dusk to dawn drive in

she was the kind of girl

who liked

going to the drive in.

it didn't matter what the movies

were as long

as it was dusk to dawn

and we had plenty of beer

and shrimp rolls

from the concession stand.

i remember the welts

on my neck she gave me.

my strained knee,

the cramps i got in my legs.

our mouths and faces 

red from kissing so hard 

and long.

but the little yellow mg

wasn't the best choice

of cars for the drive in.
