touchdown

chapter 1

welcome travelers

i am earth
elemental

soil sand stone and stuff

minerally, a

living
being

the dance

the cradle of life
through the ages

yadayadayada

stay a while
flag's green
which means
the water's ok (right now)
but
walk (or swim) lightly please
don't step on the coral reef

and because this is
a learning environment
we ask that you would kindly
keep your
voices down
to a soft hymnal tone

take nothing but
memories
(i bruise very easily these days)

and one more thing:
we have recently had to institute
a carry in carry out policy
so when you do check out
please take your trash with you

thanks and
have a nice day!

[a donkey, briefly]

I like how this isn't about football
this writing has a lot of poise and character
it's brilliant how you layered natural law
with an announcement from a flight attendant
please write and post everyday
or at least periodically
even every other tuesday would be a good start
