Piping Sinatra~ By Emalisa Rose

4/27/2021

0 Comments

 
They piped in Sinatra, the Beatles, the
Four Tops, Booker T and the Mg’s; the
oldies of then and of now again, in this
magical place where that supercone sits
in its frosted fluorescence, atop the bright
blue marquise.

Warm air, hot nights under the ceiling of
starlight, and smells of brine and Bacardi,
sweet as the syrup they’d pour on the
floats and the sundaes, as we’d sit on those

red picnic tables, with the awnings of blue
ribbon plaid, by the sidewalk where forget
me knots popped through the asphalt, where

you’d spin me ‘round twice, when my new
favorite song came on, back when we were
seventeen, and again today, forty years later.
