Perhaps I should walk

back to my shoes. I was
getting ahead of myself.

Then we walked up the
steps to the Fillmore

glitches. Smoke bells.
Ten words to jumpstart

elocution. At the top
of the hill, I opened

my mail. There was a
small book in a manila

envelope. I read the
first four pages aloud 

to him and then we leaned 

back into the grass and 

watched the clouds pass 

over us for several hours.
