this morning, thinking of jeanne

we made love on the floor over an old bar 

a gay bar in oakland california

near the berkeley line,

and we could hear strains of music

coming up through the floor from the bar

singing:

"i left my cake out in the rain,

and i'll never have that recipe again...

oh, no",

it was the beginning of a season for love

summer 1969

and i was headed back to texas

and she was gong to join me later

we hitchhiked to mendocino

a hippie paradise

in northern california

it was an adventure 

i will never forget
