Hi Williams....I assume you and your friend survived a nerve wrecking accident that left you in total confusion and still you are not able to clearly envision how and where it all happened. However you are thankful that you had a narrow escape. We too are happy that we can still read your poetry.

Mahalo, Valsa, in my poem 'I Survived 75' we fell asleep at a beach park, woke then left near midnight before the 7.7 earthquake and tsunami--several miles of coastal shelf fell into the sea--that beach park disappeared underwater--thank you my friend, Aloha, William

Seems you had a mad trigger happy person shooting at random. Happened lately on father's day.

Aloha Victor, this is a condensed version of the quake/tsunami piece 'I Survived 75' regarding the set of circumstances that unfolded in a span of a few hours--my friend and I should have died that day, Sahha William
