    his back scratched like grooves in highway cement...


    Plus, I remember the days when highways were cement, not modern day asphalt...
    recall the ridges between cement sections along the NY Thruway from Albany to Buffalo

    The assonance/consanance's roll off the lips and tongue like maple syrup over a stack of hot pancakes.

    Hey Silent you did it again! The napkin detail is perfect! I love how cleanly you set out the images in your poems.

    Hey silent lotus. Been awhile! Nifty poem! Better than Dan’s stuff but don’t tell him I said  that. LOL. Think I was at table 7 when this whole scene went down. I don’t know though, most of my life has been a blur if ya know what I mean.
