More in Release the Hounds from the bridge on school street
on the river where the brown boy sinks his line
for carp and the adulation of his grandfather i remember such tans on my pale white skin and sunsets mourning my half-spent youth
nearby the water drops 3 meters, maybe more after a thick july thunder or an angry march in the growl of white mountains
the boy glances at me and half-nods, fearless though I am large and hairy, possibly more evil than any one he has ever met,
and smiles.
I smile back,"Good luck."
