The Amerika I missed
​

great men carving the world up

like a dainty dinner

steroid infused bird in the center

as the world blew apart

apple core delight

I loving Lucy at the holiday day inn driving a 57 chevy
feeling like James Dean

No time for lent

Hank Williams and Little Richard were singing my theme
song

Steinbeck scripting my journey
​
living with the birds
