Nostalgia

[grannyjill]

"Here's looking at you, kid"
Such sweet words from long ago.
"You know how to whistle, don't you?
Just pucker up your lips and blow"

I wish we still had films like this,
not ones that show it all.
Full frontal
writhing
on top of a bed,
instead of a firmly shut door.

I want black and white stories
with no bedroom scenes,
a shy glance beneath lowered lashes.
And Bogie's fedora
tipped back on his head
as Lauren reaches up for his kisses.
