Dear Don
Well,, you look like you watch out. those
great film eyes of yours, but you don't.
You had to when you were an athlete, or
a long neck bird trapper, or a soldier,
or a long line fishermen, or a hobby guy;
with A MONKEY on your shoulder instead
of on your back
in the desert, or a student of micro bio,
Logical Science, or a beachguard, and of
course the best reader of Robert Frost on
the continent.
So stay still and go back. I hope your ok.
No more than a year. But let them know your
gonna stop. You and the way others have viewed
you is a good history. Really now make your
life presentable; not all that mixed up of the
abstract wish, as the devil in the details of
the ego and the id, for lack of a better phrase
of bull shit.
Love John
Write me back.
