Soul Train Saturdays
THEN
Afternoon to
early evening
almost any
Saturday, I
preteen, teen &
before 16
anticipate
a freedom to
alleviate […]
Saturday night
Feelin’ all right
THEY
Getting down to
weekend business
busy parentage
got into dress with
intent / relent
insist upon
freedom of need
if only for
three-to-six hours
Saturday night
Feelin’ all right
ME
Home all alone
house quiet except
music and dance—
TV lined up
like food and drink
kid liberties
inferred upon
departure made
freedom of need
