All Walls Must Fall!

Good Morning
“Good Morning” to a brand new day; this morning my old mind’s at play. It wanders here, it wonders there; it does it almost anywhere. Sometimes I know the thing it finds; the ‘strangeness’ that is in my mind.

Buildin’ fences, chain by chain, with nothin’ but shovel and bar; the fanciest piece of equipment, a little red Hillman car. A car that could go most anywhere; more than one thought four by four; it could drag a trailer … Continue reading
