So the highlight of my day was when the poodle was getting humped by the golden retreiver...

spent my sunday walking
down near army base fort hamilton
dodging golf balls and little hispancic bike riders

sorting through a jam-packed weekend
with a someday-lawyer
or whatever he wants to do.
realized people take too many people
for granted
and granted
many people get taken
but the takers are where the truth lies
you can't live from one lie to the next
or at least live in dodging veracity
the granted will catch on

smelled pollen
felt wind
saw children
baseball
sun
parks
golf
old men running by us

i was born in the country
the first 5 years were spent on or around a beach
my own jungle book
pretending i was "seabiscuit" on the horse-swings
he was always the smaller horse
but his heart made him a champion
my competitive nature took root in these 5
sis and i battled long and hard
for our share of barney rubble
our favorite bottle to drink from
my spirit is always in the outdoors
i could feel it meeting up with old friends yesterday

the houses near the army base
resemble hobbit's homes
and for once i felt ive escaped the city's hold

i miss you, mom
the great leveler.
