A midget race car. A slide guitar.
A day walking to downtown.
The Younger Gang or
was it the Daltons. Kansas
in the afternoon.
And later on with evening cool
a football game.
I walked down the oak
staircase as any
other staircase.
I had been known by these.
Frost, Steinberg, Sandburg.
And the greatest of these was
luck. Sure footed a collapse of time.
The renaissance of the Kennedys.
Black tie,
Into the hallowed arms.
Into the hands of peace.
Into the hands of peace.
A note of love. A note of kindness.
