At 72 in '16 I have been around the block... but I have not grown so careless to go over the hill. I might be a little woo-woo, believing in karma, reincarnation, ascended masters and cosmic beings but even when I was at the Summer of Love in San Francisco in 1967 I was a rather conservative hippy. I once voted for the candidate of the Constitution Party for President. I once walked nude thru the city park. I walked a LOT, not getting a car until I was 53. I was walking to creative writing class on campus (University of Wisconsin --Milwaukee) when JFK was assassinated but rather than becoming nihilistic I went bonkers, becoming a seeker to the nth degree. I questioned everything, the American dream, my own philosophy, the S.A.D. diet and what the fuck is poetry, really. Now, as you See, dear seer, I have put a bit of creative spin on my stuff. Thank you for tolerating such a well-rounded peg in a super square hole. HOLY SMILES to you reader and reader and Readers all.........
