these 70’s songs

she played

on those hot afternoons

we were drinking

& fucking

just being young

singing along

then she broke the spell

who is this marvin

you’re singing along to?

letting me know

full square

she did not know

what was going on

had no understanding

beyond the here & now

felt nothing in her soul

past the here & now

leaving me little choice

to either educate

or run away

the long haul

versus

pour another one

as the music

played on
