On The Road Again
No more trips to South Jersey,
no hegira to Pennsylvania,
this one is to Portlandia
and I'm scared half to death.
Men my age are not supposed to
go out into the wilderness
But here I am, 6:35 PM
Monday night, starting a three days'
journey into darkness
which may yet yield the candlepower
of light instead of a curse.
