lover’s lane
empty

LOL! The kids today miss the knock on the window of the car, and a ride back home to their parent’s chagrin. My mom said once she was in a park after dark and slumped down so no one would see her in the police car.

"Text - yes, while some are blessed. Such as those of us, as poets left." Thanks for a deeply thought-provoking and engaging piece of poetry, Kim. Write on, Terrell

Changing nature of romantic interaction in the modern era ; digital communication replacing face to face interaction. Today the beauty and meaningfulness of romance years ago has waned. Very beautyful

People need to get back to real, live in person relationships. This texting, emailing, virtual reality will be the end of civil society. Great little reminder. Thank you.

It is different, for sure. Always in contact but not nearly enough contact.
