New Beginnings
I gave up eagles for seagulls and pigeons
I gave up counting cars for a classroom
I gave up freedom for responsibility
I gave up route planning for lesson planning
I gave up life on the road for a sticks and bricks home
Heros
David Carradine met George Carlin in prison, I would’ve said heaven but I don’t think they made it. I would’ve said in hell but I hope they are not there so maybe they’re in prison — purgatory shall we say somewhere between for a day or two or three? like the cat with nine lives spinning out of control praying for forgiveness for sins we do not know Is value more than what they made in fame and fortune here, my idealism of both, I still hold so dear. The 1970s youth I was seeking peace as a boomer I found not only in these two, but in Paul Harvey’s humor.
