THE DAX

Adirondacks  Fall  1979,

  wandering through candy
     
        stores of Bronx youth,

in jungle maze of giant lemon-lime

      rickies

            and cherry cokes.


With boulders for ice cubes,

   we were stirring sticks

 winding our way down

         silent mountain trails,

falling leaves our percolating

    bubbles,

waiting for grouchy old man owner

 to say,

     no hanging out in THIS
 
                 luncheonette.
     

September 1979
