Leaving my mom's tomorrow morning for points west. Three days on a train will put me in Portland, OR, and two days after that will put me at a wedding and one more day after that will put me on the rim of the Pacific Ocean, the shelf of North America. I've missed the ocean terribly since I have been out here on the plains, but have been consoled by various lakes and rivers along the way, some of which I have even had the pleasure of immersing myself in.
Have had a little frog in my throat since this morning and I am worried I will be running a fever by the time I hit Grand Forks.
Said goodbye to my father this afternoon and my brother this evening. So tired of seeing people walking or driving away.
Wondering what is really awaiting me back in San Francisco. Looking forward to discovering what I have missed.
Found this great poem by Kenneth Koch that I would like to share with you:
