beer poster.... In a perfect world, gulfcoast, I would drive my old Ford 150 down by you and you and I would sit ... and talk ... just that .... and a wonderful book would evolve ... from policing the bayou to romancing your Treva and where life took you later when you thought life wasn't worth living ... turkeys, chickens and lost boys waiting for your wisdom ...

I will never know anyone like you ever again in my life.

Hello, my friend ... I designed the entrance to a church today and I thought of you ....

I can't sing

I can't dance ... but I know trees and shrubs ....

The sky is clouding up ....

Trees reach up

into the mourning sky

to brush

ripe clouds

with

their

dry

fingertips .....
