With the horizon in your eyes
And Kathmandu below
You said:
“I Can Do
ANYTHING
I put my mind to!”

While the moneyed well-to-do
Looked nice in their ties
You arrived
Black and blue
And bloodied and bruised

And cut right to the front of the line
–no time for niceties here—
And grabbed a glass
Of champagne
– the price of a mortgage—
And chugged and ran

Frost Bitten
Sand Bitten
Bug Bitten
And a pack of lions, and bears, and snakes at your heels!
You pulled a half gainer
And left them behind

Your motto:
“Memories
Are more important than things.”

And Peter said:
“This one has a story to tell...”

“Let him in.”
