Charleston Times 4

Jason said he would never join the armed

forces,

but then he went and did it,

and Kelly,

his lady,

ocean waves, he played

video games,

he didn’t dance,

he got drunk and smoked cigars

and shaved his head.

we dive in,

and we just hope for the best.

couch counting

hours and slipping down the cords

of endless entertaining
