From when I was...

Tuesday. 
Th sun is faint, but our precious breeze 
is alive.
An afternoon of walking.
Walking and feeling and seeing.
An unmarked route around Hermosa Beach.
My only chore of the afternoon was to the bank.
Plenty of pedestrians sharing...

Lazy Summer Day

Forget the beads of sweat running down your face
The thousands of pests that occasionally invade your space,
The salty stinging sensation in your eyes
Just enjoy this weather and the weathermans lies.

Seven sorry soldiers
Hiding in a ditch
Errol caught some shrapnel
And then there were six

Six sorry soldiers

As brave as trained to be
