it’s not so easy to bring-up childhood images of grownups period
we’re they there
mostly harsh
photos mostly wish-filling bs
but some of the late 1800s 1900s family stuff
my people are stiff
and somethings other

there’s not so much wildlife left at the beach house
plenty masked with moving light and water

Bill Dane

any houses any rooms any yards
some we weren’t invited into
we constantly played our asses off
the my‘40s

Bill Dane

since ‘38 i can’t remember anyone wanting to be a parent
at home in Ojai at Thacher here at the beach house
i’ve been looking at the photo faces in books on the walls
kids just go play
we had hella fun with each other

Bill Dane

a favorite utterance my 40s-50s mother
how odd of god to choose the jews
not at all Edie it’s gospel
she did like music and poetry even spike jones ogden nash
everything makes sense to someones
everything is somethings else
i always thought she someway meant to stick it to christianity

Bill Dane
