Back Then
that
night
the
exact
night
I
knew
I
idolized
you
I wore
my
hair swept
over one
wide eye
&
shagged
around a
jilted
dance-floor
‘Slippery People’
boomed
remember
how
much
we loved
Talking Heads?
we
made
a lot of
flippy
floppy
back
then
just two

Romantics

was listening to Talking Heads and came across the accompanying photo online.

In
propinquity,

The perfect storm for a poem, eh? I love when sight and sound combine to inspire me - it happens a lot more than you'd think! Nice to see it happening for you, too, Nic. Nice one.
