-true confessions as told by me to Dr. Psycho-

1.
she was

sensitive to my needs,

smart, good looking,

slow-danced with the best of them,

wonderful body parts.

wonderful.

––one starry night

she went out with girlfriends
(who knows where)

and later

they stopped at “George Dogs”

on Pleasant Street where

she nabbed two with the works to travel

before finding me

––standing alone on the corner

(only I know why)
and pulling to the curb

at just below eye-level,
the passenger-side door swung open.

––she swiveled

out of the car from

the always preferred

"shotgun" position

and as the swishing of her material
brushed across my adolescent sensibilities,

her girlfriend from the backseat

swept-in behind her

taking the shotgun position left open

in the indefinable precision of young
women in motion.

"It only took a few seconds, Doc.

I don’t know what the fuck happened.

I was just standing there and this Chevy coupe pulled-up and..well,

the passenger door swung open, see? and then there was this... 
this swishing sound and a bright light ...."

true. so true. all so very true. right, guys?
