admire from afar

             colorado memories piled high into a trunk

             neath the tire torn tuna boat drunk on potholes

             all the experience is remembered in it's smell

             a musty farm road speech of tube tied hooks

             fishing with the old folks near rainy meadows

             long twelve hour drives into denver shadows

             places that seemed the other side of reality

             urban swamps of purina company ferris wheels

             tornadoe swirling basement brawls with brothers

             I held my own and droped the rest for the cats

             cool early morning porchside breakfast winds

             honey and oats or postem on toast odd flavor

             strange as it was we enjoyed the foggy days

             long and secretive they seemed to keepsake

             cadillac attacks of the heartstring edging back

             so now we can all retire or admire from afar

             this cropulent wide fireside shooting star
