I’m addicted
to the abandoned rail trestle
over Grindstone Creek

it’s far enough away
to be romantic
and it’s in the woods

I go there, eat the lunch
I have brought with me
stuff the wrapper of my granola bar
into my pocket when I leave

I adhere to a schedule invisible
& written in
the spirit world

Sunken ships--the rats calling the place home didn't make it out either--the oldest daughter didn't like me to begin with and Momma didn't know what to do with my love in the corral--I decided not to wait around for the movie and headed for Arizona where I met Jaci--she liked me pretty much and was into history--I told her I would meet her in the Indian ruins that night for love in the dust--

she said, "oooooooooo that makes me so wet!"

How did I do, Jay? Is this what you were looking for?
