Hello Poets,
Disguise, escape and connection. Gary Snyder stepping back into the timeless time, embracing our tough old stars and the real work that beckons beyond the bluff.
Best,
Sam
I Went Into The Maverick Bar
I went into the Maverick Bar
In Farmington New Mexico.
And drank double shots of bourbon
backed with beer.
My long hair was tucked up under a cap
I’d left the earring in the car.
Two cowboys did horseplay
by the pool tables,
A waitress asked us
where are you from?
a country-and-western band began to play
“We don’t smoke Marijuana in Muskokie”
And with the next song,
a couple began to dance.
They held each other like High School dances
in the fifties;
I recalled when I worked in the woods
and the bars of Madras, Oregon.
That short-haired joy and roughness-
America- your stupidity.
I could almost love you again.
We left—onto the freeway shoulders-
under the tough old stars-
In the shadow of bluffs
I came back to myself,
To the real work, to
“What is to be done.”

THE ONLY GENUINE AND GUARANTEED CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVER IS RCOVERYMASTERS :
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, I wish to share with you how I was scammed of $585,000.00 after I fell for a romance scam, he practically ruined my life. My relationship with my family was ruined because I fell for this scam.
I had to go bankrupt after the scammer I met on a dating site conned me of all my life savings pretending to be in distress and I helped him on multiple occasions. I took a loan out to support him and yet I found out he was a scammer. I was able to get through all of this after a friend of mine showed me an article about RecoveryMasters Services and how he can recover your stolen funds from these scammers. I contacted him and to my surprise, I recovered all that I lost in a day. if you are in such a situation you contact him at. EMAIL: (Recoverymasters@email.cz )
