Drive-In

Back in our younger
Days we all enjoyed
Going to the drive-in.
Several of us crammed
In a car eating popcorn
And enjoying soft
Drinks snuck in. The
Movies were weird
But we barely noticed
Because we enjoyed
Each other’s company
More.

Realization

What would we like to see happen?
Who drove the nails into our hands?
Shame engulfing us like flames

On a computer screen we watch it
unfold and then drive off into the
Grand Canyon

The fall, how far, is the original sin,
we realize

Did we need all those nails? Was the
torture necessary? This is how we find
out who we are
