The Left Column

Dude is your
friend?
     
   Dude told me he didn't like my stories.
    He told other dude that I wasn't that good a writer.
  I've known these people for years.
    Will they even give me a chance?
  That is what I get for bragging.


Stuck Truck
There is a story for every hanging wire
or burned place on a wall that speaks of a fire
or charded logs in a pit
or over abundant wit
of the restless
and wondering bard.

The wires have been
pulled out of the box
and left hanging.
How many stories does this hanging
wire tell?
How did this short length of
sheilded wire come to be dangling from
the high beam of this roof building
without walls?
It could be a writing assignment.


Jeep from Autumn 2011.  Jeep was sold for off-road, back-country use.
Note the famous stickers on the Jeep.  This was a Central Vermont rig, suitable for 
mud-running if you want to wreak it
or just for a slow ride up a mountainside.
