DID YOU OPEN THE 1960s FLOODGATES? (NOT ELVIS, NOT MARILYN, NOT NOW)

Saw you in a limousine a mile
long and tinted glass like who's
in there imagine my chagrin upon
noticing your scent (jasmine)
color (shoreline gold) and touch
through corinthian leather chrome
layers of metal fiberglass nine
coats of primer paint varnish
crystal tumblers even the ice
had a brand name jesus some of
us really know how to live but
baby all of us know how to die
sooner or later see it's all coming
back to me like our first kiss.
