About Me	look through my eyes and see a far, what you'll see...may leave you scard. well....I thought I met the one, you know ....the one person who makes life so much brighter, then ...it happens, a tornado wipes the slate clean, leaving me to try an blossom all alone in the spring, I have to be cautious as to what lurks about... life is not over ,,,it simply picked up where I must have forgot., My memories I take in,, each & every day, ..my heart, filled with greatness,sadness and pain. it hurts to carry so much in side, yet I must stand tall and walk a great stride. I try to be brave and take each journey one at a time,my eyes have seen so many wanders of this great land I call home,Ive seen the the presidents all carved in to a stone, I visited ole Yellow Horse,along a great mountain,, out in the west,he has a indian shop and if you ask me ,,,his is the best. Ive been to baltamore when it was cold, I saw our people sleeping between card board in the snow, it brought tears to my eyes as I could not beleive. for it could have been either you or me.Ive been to memphis tennessee, theres tater red"s and BB King , they have great ribs no one can beat,and an 82 year ole man who plays rythem guitar and stomps his feet. Ive been to waco tx, it is true, a lot of young people died there and theres nothing we could do. when I was in california along the shore, I saw monark butterflies so many in a tree, with their orange and black markings it was clear to me. theres three natural bridges along that coast, but now only two stands the third must be a ghost..I drove through Utah in the past , all I saw there ,,was salty flats, Mortan is there mining the ground,digging up salt that they had found.I seen ole Joshua in the desert standing so tall,,,,waving his arms up high , in hopes that rain will soon fall. I stopped in Brownsville tx for a few days, I talked to a native stranger who had some thing to say, he told me of when, he was a kid, his family traveled state to state for months at a time picking veggies & fruit for only a dime. I drove down Burbon street in new orleans that was neat, I even walked through the Vaulted tombs along the streetst .Ive seen monkeys playing in silver springs and I have seen manatees swimming durring a calm breeze, when I was in the keys of the south ,I scuba dived with sharks swimming about. I got naked in a bar down there, its ok,, no body even cared to give me the time of day, stopped in miami for a spell, I hung out in a lil mexican grill, almost fell in love while I was there, she was a tall dark beauty who spoke of a language I had not known, it was a sad day when I left there all alone.Im from dayton , now you know, I saw ole orvil;s plane in a meusuim strung up high, and all the other planes that flew the wonderful skies, theres a tower in chicago that sears owns, climbed to the top and looked for miles around, and when I slept between the great falls up north, seems there was a teacher who went over in a barrel and lived & walked out of the water with out a doubt, Ive vissited washington dc and seen the great vietnam wall and got lost in a thing that they call,, the crystal ..underground mall..Ive seen death and dispare running loose in the streets,and little small eyes looking up from my feet, Ive seen buildings, cars and trucks burn to the ground,with cop lights and fire trucks wailing their sirens & carring a black & white hound. I once saw a semi go over a mountain , the driver did make it in an astounding way, but the truck and freight that he hauled that day,,,was nothing more than burned up decay.I spent the night in the great smokys, way up on top, I have drove through the deserts with out more than a stop ,Ive been to st paul in miniapolis, and lived many years just south of indianopilis, Ive seen the san diago beach and all its lil shops along the way.theres no need to be in a hury, because their open all damn day, Ive seen hookers & snookers working the streets, trying to make a buck before day break. Ive seen pretty women from near and far, their not always,, sitting in a bar. Ive been to new york city and I know how they roll, everyone's in a hury ,,,yet the trafic is slow.,,just down the street a few miles from me,, lies a place called Jumbolair, I saw a big plane there,,,V jet is its name, it flew over my way just the other day, I waved good buy as it passed my sight, I'd say he had a delightful flight. I was down in the everglades just passing through, stopped by the water way to see a great view, it was a gator sunning on the waters bank,but when I fell in it and made a big splash, it came after me in such a quick flash, I got out of the water,, it was such a fright, that big ass gator,,, tryed to end my life . when I was 15 & sitting at the dinner table , just listening to the chatter, I herd a big crash & a whole lot of clatter, I ran out front to see whats the matter, I saw a van laying up side down all busted apart, and a man lying alone all broken apart, I ran back inside to fetch a blanket to cover his naked, his cloths was torn to shreds indeed, there was nothing else we could do but feel his regret, the young man died alone that day, right in front of where I lived and stayed. when I was in san fransisco and crossed the bay on that great big bridge , I saw alcatraz lingering in the mist, all I could think of was,, man Im glad I didn;t live back then and get some body pissed. I have seen these things I share with...(read more)
