in a glass bottle really
just a dime?
a phone call too?
was gas
twenty-nine cents
per gallon?
a ticket to a movie
a mere
half dollar?
was water free?
was there really
just one phone in the house
plugged into
the kitchen wall.
did mothers stay
home.
did father's wear suits
and hats,
on weekends
mow the lawn?
did we once pray
in school
then say the pledge
allegiance
to the flag?
it seems
like a dream, a dream
from
a long ago age.
