tones from the bubble august 8 2020 southernmusings 1 comment i remember music played live in crowded sweaty rooms sweet with its bouquet of old beer and lacquer and the murmur of too many bodies in too small a space i remember when you looked a man in the face and a handshake was never shunned people are cowards an army of intelligence bested by intentions precautions it was said the enemy is

blue enough blue sky to fill an eskimo s pants means the sun will come out grandma used to say all of us huddled in the back of their impressive lincoln the land yacht we would call it and an ash tray and lighter available in every seat our only battle was who got to lay up above the head boards in the back window during nap time summers have come and gone leaving their marks some years yield crunchy st augustine grasses buckling under the weight of our bare feet and other years weeds stabbing our tender soles we tread lightly through those parts of the yard still tonight looms and the
