June parade in New York City

An old picture from my old home town.

A favorite poem

Only Cherries?

They didn't want me around
Said I couldn't have no cherries
Or watch them pick cherries
Or even stand near the table
Where one of those Kultur-Kookie-Klucks
With the big fat legged-smile
Was fixing to pop a nice red cherry
In on top of his gold spoon
You know I don't like those people
Who act as if a cherry
Was something they personally thought up

Kenneth Patchen - 1957

First snow

The snow came early this year.
