It's funny to write these big checks and then never have them cashed. There's a story in that somewhere.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-88894635979272577712012-05-22T15:30:11.601-07:002012-05-22T15:30:11.601-07:00Sadly, no new house for me today.

Why not:<br /><br />First Lesson:<br /><br />Lie back daughter, let your head<br />be tipped back in the cup of my hand.<br />Gently, and I will hold you. Spread<br />your arms wide, lie out on the stream<br />and look high at the gulls. A dead-<br />man's float is face down. You will dive<br />and swim soon enough where this tidewater<br />ebbs to the sea. Daughter, believe<br />me, when you tire on the long thrash<br />to your island, lie up, and survive.<br />As you float now, where I held you<br />and let go, remember when fear<br />cramps your heart what I told you:<br />lie gently and wide to the light-year<br />stars, lie back, and the sea will hold you. <br /><br />Philip BoothVesuvius At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783271096885148080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-22823007352203355892012-05-22T07:55:15.676-07:002012-05-22T07:55:15.676-07:00The Michigan Avenue Love Train story is something ...The Michigan Avenue Love Train story is something out of a movie.
