Summer of ’77

Written By: Ari  Dupree

 

as we pulled up to each toll booth , how funny it was  , At least it was

 

then .

 

         One time great adventure  was closed . Rain , I think , and we went

 

bowling so freaking high ,  we had a gas with a kid and his aunt

 

.Seemed like they were happy we were there and I felt  they weren’t

 

having that much fun with each other  and we were flying in the next

 

alley . So  they had fun with us and us with them laughing while

 

bowling ,  howling at strikes and gutter balls alike . 

        

         We spent many a night barbequing out side that studio , we loved to

 

eat steak and have sex .   Lovey  did find some  of my womens’ clothes 

 

one time . They were in my bag and she went in looking for something  ,

 

she asked what this was ?  I made up a story about a joke that I was

 

going to play on her , she wasn’t happy  and I felt   she was just so

 

confused she believed anything I said . What was I doing with those

 

things  ?  She had no idea .  I don’t think she wanted to even think about

 

it , all the better at the time .

        

         The roommate  and I had gone to the local grocery store one day

 

and I was shopping while eating grapes that I had put in the cart .Later I

 

found out she had heard the manager tell a worker to have me arrested if

 

I did not go to the check out  . Luckily I did buy a bunch of other things

 

and the worker I remember followed me to the checkout and looked kind

 

of confused . She only told me after we were  outside that I was almost

 

arrested , I said wtf .Then the room mate got ill  and then  better , I

 

helped out  with some money .

        

         The summer was drawing to a close and  plans being made , who

 

was going where and when would we all see each other again ? There

 

was the question as to  whether we would stay out there together , Lovey 

 

and I , she wanted to and did I  ? The summer of  77  ,  a  Lovey

 

summer .
