Early Dates
waiting for a date
a kid in new jeans waits nervously
he cannot wait
a boy pulls up
and his kid sister jumps out
watch out, he calls
he knows what it is about
it seems there was a time
when you drunk lemon and lime
stodd in the corner of junior discos
leaving quite early
because you thought it was time to go
i remember those ealy date s
James Garratt – August 1995
