Black Hills Photo Shootout ~ Coke

One of my guilty pleasures:

~

Coke

~

Boondock's

south of Deadwood, SD

was loaded with

Coke indulgences . . .

~

for my

eyes

~

~

and camera

~

to be quenched.

~

Even today

~

~

it makes my ears long to hear

the rattle of an old Coke bottle dispenser . . .

{the one in the Ree Heights Store in 1981}

with the skinny door . . . with the cold air on my hands and face

in the summer

&

the explosion of carbonation under pressure

as the bottle top opens

on an old glass Coke bottle.

Thirsty?
