Sentimental Journey

[j minnich]

I used to like to build plastic model spaceships, then put a firecracker
inside and take 'em out into the back yard and blow 'em up.  Then I'd comb
through the grass collecting all the fragments I could find, and then try to
glue it all back together.   Fort-Da!               j minnich

...The poet is dead.
Nor will ever again hear the sea lions 
Grunt in the kelp at Point Lobos.
Nor look to the south when the grunion 
Run the Pacific, and the plunging
Shearwaters, insatiable, 
Stun themselves in the sea.  
   -Wm. Everson
