hope you got out into the fields
saw the wild things grow
i met with a friend yesterday
mentioned you briefly over
there on tug hill. said that
we chat about fuel, the animals
that you are a veteran
he suggested that if
you are our generation
that woulld be vietnam
and how beautiful it is
now despite all that
damage
we should look after things
better. i wrote a thing a while
back. it filled my head with
pictures. a guy from the U.S.
recorded it and folks said
good things
no bashing at all
asked me to read it
and it broke me every time
i think i shall continue
the story somehow
it is about a bird
