Uncle Don-isms [updated at random]

Bits of gold, from my uncle, "Blue Eyes and Okie Charm..."

"The buffalo on every nickel he ever spent had already shit because he squeezed it so hard."

"He wouldn't say shit if it was in his mustache."

Dad says, mid-joke, "... one road leads to fame & fortune, and the other road leads to squalor..."  Uncle Don interjects, "OH, thats right down near Pinople!"

old habits living

if i still smoked, 
i'd be
right now
on the porch
rainy, 
blanket wrapped

and
you
might join me

dreaming

a porch, honey hives, dogs, cats, a goat, tomato vines, squash, grapes, citrus trees, chickens, spinach, herb gardens, a quiet spot to hang a hammock, real food from dirty hands, a barn, a bookcase, wind chimes, silence, noise, and onions. and lots and lots of garlic.
