what today

belmar readings got off to a good start this week moving to wednesday veterans day from the usual thursday only no one i hear mentioned it was veterans day most of these kids were just that kids and few if any had done time in uniform and i'm not the exception being old enough to have served two short lifetimes but getting on with the story there were a couple of good poets and poems and an opening guitarist with a few original songs and a comedian who was trying out his stuff on a tough audience and i with a few short poems, a reflection of my attention span, and when justin was doing his stuff, reaching for the sky with a recitation-cum-reading, the phone rang and i was back on the road again, like a doctor called to the bedside of a dying patient on her last leg, call of the wild, only it wasn't life or death, only life dragged out along a smooth bed of blacktop from here to there and back again. check out sierra demulder on the web before you read anything more here. would it were another night ...
