It takes a dozen people
hand to hand to make a circle around me Is this the best use for these twelve people? I recommend instead of parking at the top starting with the Giant Forest Museum My side of the story is on display in a drawer of gently accruing paper files It’s never been my dream to be hugged I don’t dream Nights are lonely sure but once the visitors are gone existence can be contemplated |
