up the tree
bent the curve
oh reverent mother
oh cruel earth-
“so what say you old man?”
(with hagard walk)
“alas,
youth can not be taught yet
to understand.”

notes… must be the time of year, inspiration, life abounds, driving on the parkway never had it so good, I wrote this in a blitz (5 minutes maybe?) pulled over at the clark rest area GSP south (a jersey thing), what is up with taking so long to replace the two rest areas on the GSP ? sheesh… I love my state, truly, but man alive the state can’t build a sand castle before the tide…
