1977
Hometown at night
Her bottom is sunk into the leather upholstery
Of my 1977 corvette
With Supertramp on the eight-track
While we plow through the darkness
Looking for an icebreaker
As an Arctic Front frosts the windows
She smiles as we slide into position
To park-like teenagers
On the funky side of town
But we dream California
While Mississippi mud sticks to our shoes
And the heater blows like the Santa Ana Winds

This totally works
I know the power of the 8 track
My wife has the space helmet one (Weltron ) and plays it frequently
I read your bio
Love this poem

The 70s were a magical time to be growing up in
An innocent time, before technology pushed it's way into our lives

SerenitySongs, you are exactly right! I spent my days in the woods or the pool in a world of the imagination. Thank you for illuminating the background of this poem so wonderfully. That is how it was. Great gratitude.
