Drive-in

Rain at the drive-in.
The forcecast calls for hail.
Wind blows over the screen.
Corrugated metal and wood struts, fallen into a twisted heap.
Shut down for the season because of the snow.
Mosquitos. Lost children.
What’s with that clown in the fun park anyway?
Daylight savings time.
That double feature keeps you out until one or two.
Have fun driving home when you’re that tired.
Car hits a bump, and your friend in the trunk breaks his arm.
A bulb goes out, and they have to switch reels on one projector.
All, just to get that one first kiss.
