What a surprise poem...thanks for sharing

A beautiful snake uncoiling with a hiss back through memory lanes.

I enjoyed this glimpse of a life lived so different from mine. Yet there is a commonality- -the friendships that give texture and color and depth and sometimes awesomely silly shallows to our life. Your George is the sauce that gives savory tastes to that portion of your life- may he live on there and in your present.

Thanks for giving it a thoughtful reading. This poem was translated into Chinese by a friend. Maybe you'd like to see the Chinese version. I'm in India now, don't have my laptop withh me. When I get back to China I'll send it to your mailbox. DM

I like this one; it makes me think.

A life history told in this poem. One that is interesting and varied. Congratulations on an interesting and well written work.
