To Mary…
FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD Banana and mayonnaise on Wonder bread with Pineapple Delight.
PERSONAL MOTTO Do the right thing, even if it doesn’t matter.
Mostly
Southern-raised,
Like catfish at the
MLK and Cherry corner:
Grits and y’all,
lightening cracked the skies.
Remembering,
on the #3 I bounce:
Benaroya to Harborview
To home.
Riders board:
A tourist without change,
Ladies in sun-dresses and leather boots,
Gents plugged-in and tuned-out.
Me, with my bus pass:
Belonging —
Mostly.
