FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

the story behind number one

1964

I first fell in love with Elizabeth Dent
in Woodstock Ontario, in Grade 3
beautiful, humble -  hot
total smoke-show

elegant, timeless, even at 8 years old
I kissed her 3 times under her winter hood
out in the woods behind Springbank School (her idea)
in March '65 - it was surreal

shortly after I turned 9
I found a stack of Dad's playboy mags
stashed under his tool bench
in the basement in a box

Mom was snoozing that afternoon
and he was away - traveling salesman/absent father
on the road a lot

I knew nothing and was curious
flipping through the pages - naked girls/wow 
pulling out the centre-fold
and almost fainting

feeling aroused at 9 even
not a clue and just as well
blondes always my preference
ever since

televised beauty pageants
make-up, high heels - lubricated tanned skin
that provocative smile
tailored to tease

boner ... I mean bonus

our preoccupation with beauty is distracting
my own attractions (still) ... conditionally condoned
how it's supposed to look

how it ends up looking

Elizabeth was my number one
still is
