Perry Place,

Parked late night.

Steamy windows,

smokey smiles,

Silly moments,

Sleepy, stoned eyes.

Hazy, high spirits,

Lackadaisical laughter

Peppered with pitch dark paranoia,

And hushed, worried whispers.

Muted music

Too low to listen,

Quiet.

Content.

Feet on the dash,

Heads toward the sky,

Thoughts in the clouds.

Dreaming,

Drowsy,

Stargazing souls.

Peace passed between us with

Harmonious hands

And hazy, high hearts.

Those smokey,

Steamy,

Stoned

Secrets of ours.

That late night

Perry Place love.
