In 2 days I turn 73. Tonight I watched West Side Story 2.0.
Kathy was Maria to my Tony back when I was 18 and she 17.
We were in Love with love and nothing could deny it. We made our
baby girl in defiance and cracked our world in pieces. I cried at the
drive in movie on our wedding night and entered strange reality and
acid 1969 summer of love and walked a tightrope over ******
friends straight and bent ones in psychedelic colors and free love.
When I told them we had gotten pregnant they said go to your room.
I don't think I've ever left my room.
