Centerfold Gold

the black and
white ink laid
aside for
centerfold gold
the choice
of elementary
girl
basic colors
comically
displayed
Hagar
the horrible
Brenda Starr
the family
circle
Blondie
dad
read all the
sections
except
mine
those
happy days
no tablet
in hand, phone
attached
to the wall
a lazy
Sunday
afternoon
however
the thought
crossed
my mind
a wristwatch
that tells time
and lets me
watch tv
besides
who knew

Kim, good one. Some think those days sucked. Not me. But you've read much of my poetry, so you know I liked the past better. Days of flesh and blood people, not electronic ones. Something gets lost in that. Like a kiss, a hug. PC laughter ,like ))' is inhuman. Panagiota Miss the papers and all you listed. Panagiota
