--Savannah Tea -- Day trippin' in an old ford escort just me in shorts and tee with Tammy going to Savannah and all it's complex Southern oddities served with tea. windows rolled down papers whip around in the back seat as the escort engine pushes 80 the car shakes and vibrates with us Fellow higwayers pass and follow the coast lingers in and out from blurring trees and start to give way to palms and tough palmetto bugs Tammy's eyes behind sunglasses delight to all the sticky heat and escape, letting her toes catch some rays as they dangle out the window for onlookers to examine. My own hands are relaxed behind the wheel the sun burns my forearm leaning out the window the hairs pushed back by the gentile breeze and the throttled speed. The highway signs pointing south showed new welcomings but n'ver goodbyes or see y'all laters just, "WELCOME" as if they were waiting for us. Tammy dozes off Rays of late day sun paint her face reds and oranges and tint her sunglasses so that i see her gaze over to me before she sleeps with a smile. I can continue the trip I am tired but restless to get to Savannah - we need to get there Away from the muck and scum that laid us in gutter pay and cheap times. Here i can wipe the dirt off my shoes and it will stay off. My face will be clean of hate and Tammy can smile for good. |

I hope Savannah was all you expected. You forgot to hit the button. I can't vote for you. Joyce |

Hey hey my man. I heard that you were around. This makes me want to put the top down and drive off into the sun, wind ripping my glasses off, and smile all the way. Not to mentions a lovely lady asleep at my side. Good stuff. And welcome aboard. |

May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
