just like old times, part 3


by rhoda penmarq



not in a roadside diner
what a cute little dog
and so it all began

in columbus ohio
it all began
not in ronnie’s roadside diner

on a rainy day
or a bus stop
the buses run every hour

you’re not so ordinary looking
on a rainy day
in columbus ohio

you’re a strange man
shall we begin?
not in a roadside diner

in lexington kentucky
on a rainy day
not in the metropolitan museum

i bet your mother called you cutie pie

“i am afraid i did not make myself clear”

back in columbus ohio

or tulsa oklahoma
and yourself?
not on the beach

to the sound of crashing waves

“as long as you are sincere”

not in the metropolitan museum
