Things I liked before I became a middle-aged recluse
Things I liked before I became a middle-aged recluse:
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
- Having a lover & friend.
- A reasonably reliable car, mine or someone else's..
- Going to the beach "off season" by myself.
- Driving to the boardwalk after supper & getting home at 2 am.
- The United States until 1/20/01.
- Believing that making poems mattered.
- Believing that my poems mattered.
- Social occasions with 6 or less & 20 or more people.
- Boxes of old records at flea markets.
- A girlfriend hanging out in the studio while I did a radio show.
- A good credit rating.
- Running the book dept. at Pearl Arts & Crafts in the 90s.
- Poetry readings in bars & coffeehouses.
- Living in Rahway.
- Reruns of the TV show Peter Gunn.
