GLASS SODA POP BOTTLES: 1976 -2016
I "inherited" a pair of these glass Coke bottles (circa 1976) when my lover passed away. Since all Coke/Pepsi bottles are now plastic, it never dawned on me to start collecting them. However, that all changed a year ago when I happily discovered Safeway was actually selling glass bottles of Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and 7 Up.
So I bought two bottles of Pepsi....
and two bottles of Coke (made in Mexico?). I intend to buy the green Sprite and 7 Up bottles when I make my next trip to Safeway. I'll get a pair of each: I'd like to think they are keeping each other company :-)
P.S. What do you collect?

YOU
Photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe
Why does love
hurt so
much?
Parting, parting
is such sweet
torture.
Tongue-tied and
in sterling
silver
chains
I do a wobbly
waltz
and play with
the best of
Shakespeare
for only you:
my love,
my mirror,
my special
friend
from
Romeo and Juliet's
high balcony as
photographed
by Mapplethorpe in
stark, disturbing
black and white.
Sir, will you come again?
