i am not a child , i am not a glum lot 
(169)

i am not a child
i am not a glum lot 

i am a rocky headland
i sit on a bench seat with all the “mikes”
i form the mosaic , a tiny piece
to fit in the pattern on the wall
i knew the whole story before i walked in through the front door

i searched for the builder of worlds , 
stories to tell
echoes of wise bumper stickers 
plastered on the guitar box

i saw the vision in the pouring rain
vision of the small space
us dusty ranch hands
caring for grandmas trees out back
caring for all the boggled minds

i am not a child
I am not a glum lot

i am ARRIVING
always
