1976 - A Bicentennial Tale by DH McCarty 9/20/16
She was sitting across the table from me, in a dive bar off of North Division, day laborers, tow truck drivers and trust fund babies. She was lip synching 'Leather and Lace' and nailing it.
Boots with 5 inch heels and a western style duster.
She drove me there in a red Karmann Ghia that had faded Dusty Rose.
Born and raised in Huntington Woods. She didn't live it.
"Do you want to dance?"
"Soon as I can levitate."
"Give me your fingertips. . . .just your fingertips.
She drew me like a whisper, undulating to John Lee. We were the only dancers on the floor. I closed my eyes and followed her digits. I was swiveling on 31 inch hips, my center of gravity under investigation by the Ottawa County Sherriffs Department.
"The Juke box has a black button in the back . You can recycle your quarter a hundred times."
"Isn't that Larceny? Anarchy?"
"I'm not feeling'Le Resistance' tonight. I'm taking every advantage that falls in my lap and I'm not wearing any underwear."
"You're gonna drop that one on me in the middle of the dance floor.?"
"Call it submission. You'd have found out soon enough,"
"Have I been lost
Inside myself and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?" Carnival by Natalie Merchant
