Regrets Licking their Lips

Regrets Licking their Lips

 

 

a French kiss

the back seat

becomes the bed of teenage mysteries

explored

the radio playing those sixties tunes

 

Those are in English

the languages exchange tongues

fingers explore

over, under, inside the unknown

the car radio, D.J. whispers the time

 

attire is quickly adjusted

the bed made,

tires squeal

homeward bound fingers

squeeze the wheel

 

the almost

will almost

but never be forgotten

 

Thank God we didn't

or blame God that we didn't 

 

Catholic curse

fingers folded

as the penance is distributed

contrition contrived

 

the back seat waits

for the next Friday night.
