The Last Soldier

]They buried him today The last soldier, the last veteran Of the last war that raged so long That no one living knew When it started, or why. But all knew the day and the hour When the Caretakers came down In their huge ships, silent, gray And everywhere on Earth at once, And all the fighting stoppe...

An Attic Never Swept

Carefully, we box our memories And stack them in dark, musty corners In the attics of our minds. And, in time, the boxes are layered With dust, like geologic strata From each thing that changed our lives. Often, we attempt to sort them out, And leave behind the things that hurt us When we move from ...

Re: laundromat

Definitely busy, but not too busy to attend the FAC (Friday Afternoon Club) at The Sink, where you could get a cheeseburger and a bottle of 3.2 beer for 75 cents. But, I never actually rode the Doozy Duds dryer, but knew a lot of guys who did. I think they're still dizzy. By the way, The Sink and Do...

Epiphany

It happened one morning
After threescore and fourteen years
Of learning the hard way
The secret of Life
Slipped quietly
Into my mind:

Harm no one
Destroy nothing
Find love and keep it
Create beauty and cherish it

Re: Father's Day

Thanks, friends. It's sad how casually we accept the presence of someone we love in our lives, until they're gone. I remember telling Pop, before he died, that he was the best man I ever knew. It was true then. It's true now...
