Riverplace


                          ... riverplace / by the window

                                                                              ... you with an amber ale / me with my constant fear

 ... will you swallow me whole

                                           ... or in bits and pieces ....... til I disappear

  1. Mysterious but identifiable poetic theme. Excellently presented. I remember asking that question only once --1969 at the Oakland Induction Center. Not a comfortable day.

    1. Thank you, Geo. "Induction Center" ... wish those words had never come into being ... and many others that became part of our national lexicon. sigh ...

  2. It has been many years since I last saw a scene like that. It would make me feel very lonely, and I would wonder too.

    1. It seems there are so many ways in which we can, if allowed, be swallowed up: by people, circumstances, our choices ... and, yes, cities.
