Upon a boat, by ocean bound,
Below the sun, upon the sound,
The bait, a line, a reel, a fish:
Bound for butter, herbs and dish.

    This Berkeley Deke and his fine Mother and Father helped get me printed in hardback. He told me in ’08, “…that poem was really elaborate.” His girlfriend was so excellent and lovely, I took such as an symbolic indicator that he was “a bell cow” – one to follow, iow.

    Snow shoveling in Ann Arbor and reviving the 1844 literary foundations of Delta Kappa Epsilon formed the 2 best tasks I had for 8 years: housed and fed during the Great Recession. Ergo, printed in 3 countries, 2x as many states.

    To recall how grateful I’d better be I had a lady friend make me a sweatshirt: “The Son of God composted my B.S.”
