Fat Jim Morrison and the LSD freakout

We
walked around the
streets

You
had to go home
eventually

But we heard music

And a tiny little clothing store
with a backyard
where
you'd never expect it

A band of misfits playing covers of 60's
and 70's songs
to couples who were our age
in those same era's

You
stood in front of me
and smiled and
listened

in the red glow
of a string of lights along the fence

I think in that moment I smiled
and meant it

meant it more
than a hundred other smiles
i've ever given
