this trailer park,
with its throng of misfitting wrecks,
my mind--
will it lilac-free itself
will it daisy-poeticize

A cognizant mind is a beautiful thing,

a poem is a sigh
a melody of song
a musical lullaby

Spiros....

thank you!

I have been in trailer parks from very different societies....

some were home grown, being within town's end and such; others were week end monuemetary moments of air shows such as Oshkosh fly ins and such greatness our children may never know;

Yet, the moments we sought were such as yours, fragments of fragrance, wisps of eye-catch, caches of sound....all emcompass such a brief fragment of your very magical moment of poem.

Thank you.
