Good Evening Cicely, or should I say Good Morning....Since it's way past
the
witching hour....
KBHR has been off the air far too long....Got in here, dust
everywhere....mouse droppings....Empty beer bottles....other things I
won't
even describe in the back room.....And the town seems so empty, now that
most people have moved out....Brick closed, Ed's Em****ium an empty
shell.....The airfield abandoned.....and the Doctor's office a cobweb
filled
void......WHAT HAPPENED?????.... One moment a vibrant town, the next....a
ghost town in the tundra.... A vision of an Alaskan Riviera turned to
dust....
Was looking at some old emails that I had saved....People I haven't heard
from, or about, literally for years now..... Wondering what has happened
to
them.... Happier now, or not?... All people I cared for in various ways,
and
hoping that some of that was returned... (It was from some all that wrote
privately, that was so nice....)..... Some of those emails I should have
tossed (maybe still should), but the memories......Ahh, the memories of
mostly happier times....
Since then, I've gotten older (but mayhaps, not wiser?).... Seem to be
losing my balance lately (and that may be caused by not taking meds and-or
glucose readings) and the eye sight is getting blurry....same reasons?....
Haven't ridden either of my *bents* at all. Partially due to the balance
thingy, but also being literally chased by a guy in a car who wanted to
kill
me, after he ran a red light and almost hit me.....And that was almost 2
years ago....
Been on two short cruises in the last year....one was paid for by someone
dieing and leaving a paid opening.... And the other a *family* cruise I
couldn't afford to take, but couldn't afford *not* to take..... And on
both,
lost my heart to younger women (seems to be the story of my life)....Hard
the first time, less hard the second..... But with the second, she opened
the lines of communication with me.... We even exchanged email addresses
(and hers was real, I checked).... But alas, after 4 attempts at writing,
no
answer, even though I emphasized it was strictly a friend****p (for I know
that it's all it could be, especially when she's in Pennsylvania)......
Oh well.....perhaps it's time to turn off the ol' transmitter once and for
all....License is expired anyway..... Not much to re****t about what's
goin'
on in a dead village.....
If anyone is a-listenin'.... Sleep Peacefully....
Good Night Cicely......
--
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right.
And which is an illusion?
