American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

High 


As consciousness persuades the joyful
to abstain, the mindful get hungry.

We saw Leonard Nimoy at a Pizza Hut
in Leadville, Colorado.  It was a happening

spot, full of tourists, disdainful local folks,
and vociferous cowboys who drank all the way

back to the truck.  We ate, marveled at
the high vistas, and made some genuine merry;

then elected to duck beneath these darkening
damp clouds to return to our glistening car.
