this book-bag carries belongings from along the way…various places…reminders…

Simic…Whitman…Kerouac…add weight to this journey…passages and cups of coffee in Montreal…New York…Philly…Vermont upon autumn’s turn…ritual…thankful…

and miles driven…hiked…a tour of riches for the soul…never asking why…awaiting the next day…perhaps hour to unfold…revealing what…what…

all that there is at 48…a book-bag filled with Simic…Whitman…Kerouac…

i’ve lost nothing….
