I got time for…
other people.
baby animals.
saturday morning cereal & cartoons.
that scent of new school supplies on the last day of summer break
love found & lost at a summer camp & found & lost at school…found again, then lost once more.
baseball games on am radio.
reading, art, & cooking material.
fresh sheets on my bed.
fench fries at the bottom of my bag & cheese paper from the burger wrapper.
sharing last night’s pizza.
beer from a pitcher with friends.
muscle cars and vw bugs.
bicycles and skateboards.
clean water.
some clothes.
the am radio frequencies.
a nice, well-stocked first aid kit.
hand tools and fasteners.
a place to hang my hat & overalls.
LP records and cool stereo rigs.
crickets’ droning in the dark as the car whizzes off into the night on back roads.
the smell of rain.
a cluster of dictionaries & word books.
the last glory of sun at dusk.
tree frogs, owls, & whip-poor-wills.
swiss army knife.
rain, mist, fog, storms, winds, calm, bright, 10,000 foot ceiling &10 miles visibility.
magnet & magnifying glass.
the moon in its phases.
