It's a beautiful day. Somehow it reminds me of "Morning in America."

Makes me want to go out and invent Star Wars or something.

Or Commie Wars. NKorea vs China.

Well, we can take a wild trip or sumthing.

Can you see the horses pulling floats
down Main Street, all the kin folks
flying flag, store fronts festooned in flags
the young, the babies in mother's arms,
the gramma's and grandpas, cheering along the way
Ah, Independence Day in the USA!


Memories from images of a more genteel time
pies on the widows cooling for the picnic
kids aglow with anticipation of games with friends.
The old hounds running with the kids, free as the wind
the old swimming hole waiting for the kids to fall in
laughter, and heat and sweat beads on foreheads.


Those were times before me, but I did say from images
of old Saturday Evening Posts, and Norman Rockwell
we get to share a large part of yester year.
