Blue Nun Music

The dilapidated décor, and Sergeant Pepper wore the same tones. Burgundy stocking hung on a lava lamp, A poster of Leonard Cohen as a young man. Paddington apartments travel by train unhurried by time. A girl drinking Liebfraumilch waiting for me to come home with a used album of Rubber Sole We had vinyl prayer-wheels, a laminated love affair. We had red and yellow music; bottles of Blue Nun wine.

Thanks Sandra, it was "the best of times and the worst of time". Fun to be young again, if only in poetry.

Thank you Line Gauthier, I'm guessing that you are of a certain age to recall those times! Obliged to you for the comment.
