DARK EYED STARE 1974

A BOY AND GIRL IN SWEDEN IN 1974

Dalya smokes
as I do
in some bar

in the camp
in Stockholm
want a beer?

she asks me
sure why not
so she buys

two large beers
and we talk
of the tents

that now leak
and the dame
who nigh sleeps

with most guys
on the trip
(not me though)

one of whom
a teacher
when back home

some wise prat
who claimed she
(that's Dalya)

was quite fat
I'd say plump
I tell her

Rubens type
not like her
Dalya says

skinny arse
and tit-less
that teacher

she goes on
I'll have him
on his own

and sit on
his thick head
we drink beer

listening
the music
from the large

loud speakers
some rock stuff
loud guitars

thrashing drums
and I think
she's sexy

standing there
in white top
and black jeans

with black hair
and her wild
dark eyed stare.
