Looking Back At 1960

the time is
now 1959
on a twenty
four hour

rolex watch
watching the
time so it dare
not stop while

flipping through
an a to z rolodex
wondering if I put
her under m or r

i'll show you
a photo of her
before she be
came famous

these are her
toes and this
her lips with
no, even though,

a retro photo in
black and white,
no lipstick worn
she is a natural
and naturally

she can keep
a great conversation
up even longer then viagra a
symbol and image of a tower that 
after hours has let off a lot of steam

but she looks the part 
and from the start
becomes the
star

i saw a photo
of her years
ago and
it was

very becoming to even
say that it was one
of the best dis
played sites

i'd ever seen so
let's create the
scene played
by everyone

and me again
with her here
and everywhere
let us pray as i

am now on knees
begging absolute
absolution for once
i agree scientifically

that they have
determined
that alcohol is
a solution

but now
i need
to find
the

problems

"can keep a great conversation up longer than viagra" is one of the best lines ever.
