-driving-

Driving

South on Main,
Cruising the drag, 

Stopping for
Root-beer floats

And to look at the Carhops
Rolling at A&W.


Driving
North on Main,
Cruising the drag,
To the intersection of Pleasant,
And a turn-
Around at Sambo's Diner.


Driving

South again,
Cruising the drag,
Into the night
Like beating hearts,
Revving the engines,
Hunting the girls,
Revving the imaginations.


South was better than North,
Save for the Boogie
Girls of Border City,—
As East was better than West,
Save for the Sunset
Hill Housing Project
Where Elaine
San Marcos would be waiting.
