Marlene

My mind drifts away
whenever I see your face.
I'm really not sure why
and I'll probably never know.

I wish you'd let me try
to find the door.
It must be there somewhere
hidden behind your quiet beauty.


- Fall 1972 - one of the "lost" poems


P.S.  Wonder whatever happened to the cute girl who sat in my freshman English comp class.   Her roommate told me months after I wrote this that when I had asked her out she wanted to say "yes", but had not.  She had attended an all girls Catholic school and had never been on a date before.
