Hello from one chicago compadre to another. I'm new on here and was looking around. here's another poem. What do you think?
a moment runs
grey to white
impression
shone light through a window of sorts
inviting a breath of color
and a daydream I'll call indian:
your sweat
the beads around your neck
your bare feet
faint traces of rhythm carved
in the hot dry dirt
barely
and unspoken
words enrust
the sun as it descends

why do i like movies where the characters are compelled to keep their own counsel? where they...

I feel guilty for not commenting more. You are one of the most connected, introspective people I've "known".
I know what you mean when you say you "prefer to be quiet". The odd thing about me is I tend to speak up about minutia, but say little about what I have actual opinions.
If I haven't said it before, you are one cool person, I like you, and I respect you.

My wife gets urinary tract infections all the time. She eventually went to her OBGYN and got more drugs. While I don't know what it feels like, I know it sucks. Hope you get to feeling better.
starisea:
Oh man! Those things are going around like mad. I was getting one like every 2 1/2 weeks until my doctor finally gave me antibiotics to take after sex. The pain is horrible!
I hope that you feel better soon.
Check your SG email. I finally sent a list of fun to do's in P-town. Groovie links and all.

sun warmed rail
