Past Midnight Fling to How to Open a Bottle with a Cucumber 

The secret what happens past midnight 

The secret of opening a bottle with a cucumber 

Past Midnight�s Fling (poem) 

The clock strikes one
Far from the sun
The madness past midnight
Has just begun
-
Let loose the light
Which blurs from sight
Melodious movement
Of our delight
-
Toward sultry scent
Our purpose bent
To flavor forever
In time well spent
-
With all
The glorious kisses
There�s nothing between us
That cannot be shared
-
Recall
The lingering silence
With feelings so intense
Still two lovers dared
-
As we confer
Our bliss to stir
To places predisposed
For lover�s myrrh
-
Our eyes are closed
Senses exposed
To lavish our longing
With sweet repose
-
Let fall
No secrets to hold back
Our love remains intact
In passion ensnared
-
Enthrall
Our moment in pleasure
Let all else surrender
Two lovers declared
-
The clock will ring
Our hearts still sing
While utterly undone
Past midnight�s fling 

It's past midnight and these lovers have just begun in this poem. This looks like a lyrical poem. It could be, but it has no recurring chorus. There a few measures of note in this poem. The poem has two types of rhyme structures. In one structure, the third line contains a play of sounds: i.e. the M in madness and midnight (Word Wizardry). In the other rhyme pattern: strict rhymes give way to sound alike. 

This poem goes back to those disco days. It was 10:00. Time to go out dancing. At around 8ish "The Crew" would gather, at one of our houses or a restaurant or at the hair salon. "The Crew" consisted of Ed & Sherrie, Mike & Valerie, Lance & Whoever and Arlene & Me.  Our nightclubbing area was from Bocce, in Sausalito to Tingle. in South San Francisco. We'd leave the final choice of venue up to Ed. He had a knack at selecting where the evenings best action would be. We would hit the club by 11:00 and leave before they closed, at 2:00. Sometimes The Crew would head for the nearest all night pancake joint. We were all friends (except for Lance's date for the evening), so it was not unusual of us to switch partners on the dance floor. Though Lance and Valerie were professional dancers, nothing, no one compared to Arlene and me when we dance with each other. (Long before, when Arlene found out that I couldn't dance, she spent years to teach me.) Arlene's biggest thrill was when we could clear the dance floor, because other couples would stop and watch us. The Crew once did a three night (two day) binge. Three straight nights of dancing. Two days at lake Chebot. Those were the disco days. 

(If the poem hints at something else - Maybe.) 

Imagine that. I couldn't dance. Then I fall for the girl of my dreams. If I was to make her happy, I had to learn to dance. I learned to dance just in time to be a part of a trend that was sweeping the world. Not only that, life had surrounded me with dancers. It was like, life had put this whole dance thing just for me. But let's step back a little. doesn't this happen to other people? Doesn't life place stepping stones for every individual? I am not suggesting that our life is preplanned. But, for me, there seems to be an order to it. An order personally suited for each individual. Doubt? Take a look at our life. What do we do well? What were the steps that brought us to this point? Now take the next step and Enjoy. 

Back to the poem: Katherine Lynch "Twilight Romance" 

What will we think of next 

Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. Not only that. Did you know we can use a cucumber to open a bottle?

There are two great days in a person's life - 

the day we are born 

and the day we discover why.
