Railroad Ties One track minded set on a destination with a ticket paid for by dues to the next camp and a cup of hot soup… another hobo riding a poet's dream gently swaying from thought connected to rhyme in a caboose faithfully following on tracks laid by the worker leading away from the "end of the line" not destined as a snow cone dispensary catering to little children with sticky hands too anxious to know a taste of the syrup and miss the reality of life.

You drop seeds of metaphor like a cottonwood's snow in May... and so many seeds take root... |

What a magnificent piece, it's like a painting that keeps drawing one back into the canvas for greater and greater understanding and pleasure. |
