Oh! If I close my eyes, I can hear the melody.
Wrap my arms around myself and slowly rock and sway.
The memories flood back of my boyfriend years.
Dim lighting. Dusky dark full of sound and shuffling as we danced to the tunes of the Jukebox.
A quarter would play three favorites. Just enough to feel like a grownup. Just enough to have maybe that cute boy come over.
Wait! Can you hear the rattle of the coin?
Listen! Can you detect the clicking of the tray as the machine selects your record?
Oh! There's the scratching of the needle on wax. Arms raised to your partner...
Heaven, bliss... we are dancing!
A vintage working Wurlitzer! I must admit that I would like as not just play the same song over and over again!
Funny, the boys didn't seem to care what song it was!
