tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

Back in the day

As...

The life and prospects skipping rope in children's heart
The dust drizzles atop the sutured sound
And eyes litany...

The Florida of My Youth

Peter Pan? He is nothing but a tale drawn out,
a hero of half-truths, drowned in fairy dust,

The 
familiar 
sound 
of 
gunshots 
rings 
out 
in

the 
sound 
of 
many 
marching 
feet,as

in the trees 
the whispering breeze
thoughts slipping away this way

The morning the rooster screams us awake
cant speak my language
new wave gobblede gook
you will never see through
just hope...
