matinee

when i see you now

for the first time.

that shine -

this beautiful face

hinting at something lost.

a movie from years ago, maybe

or a dream?

a matinee set in the 50's,

that lead girl - the first crush.

washed out images, and that shine!

was it a dream,

a fantasy derived in a drug haze,

or are you her?

this is not the 50's, 

or make believe.

it is now,

and you are my matinee.

my first crush

all over again
