Ya know... I think I saw FGT one time and it didn't stick. But something about the poem, perhaps everything about it, made it stick...

LOL oh the memories...
We used to have a full sized van... appropriately called voyager... back when I had a motorola star tac phone which was a flip phone looked like a communicator and also a Palm III which looked like a tricorder.... Kids gave their trekky mom a hard time about it... never did get the red/black seat covers to go with the theme.... but had thought about it. That was back in the day before the blackberries and smart phones.

Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle Received from a Friend Called Felicity

During that summer
When unicorns were still possible;
When the purpose of knees*
Was to be skinned;
When shiny horse chestnuts
****(Hollowed out
****Fitted with straws
****Crammed with tobacco
****Stolen from butts
****In family ashtrays)
Were puffed in green lizard silence
While straddling thick branches
Far above and away
From the softening effects
Of civilization;

During that summer—
Which may never have been at all;
But which has become more real
Than the one that was—
Watermelons ruled.

Thick imperial slices*
Melting frigidly on sun-parched tongues
Dribbling from chins;
Leaving the best part,
The black bullet seeds,
To be spit out in rapid fire
Against the wall
Against the wind
Against each other;

And when the ammunition was spent,
There was always another bite:
It was a summer of limitless bites,
Of hungers quickly felt*
And quickly forgotten
With the next careless gorging.

The bites are fewer now.
Each one is savored lingeringly,
Swallowed reluctantly.

But in a jar put up by Felicity,
The summer which maybe never was
Has been captured and preserved.
And when we unscrew the lid
And slice off a piece
And let it linger on our tongue:
Unicorns become possible again.

John Tobias

Amazing, wonderful words. Thanks for that. May unicorns dance in your dreams tonight!

Texarkana. KOA. Cool here, too, but not unbearable. Fireplace and electric blanket in our tin hut. We're roughin' it. It's a real CG, too. I know because we can hear both air brakes AND trains.

You? Annie okay now? And her dad?

BTW: Remind me to tell y'all about how I made GF, grain free Oopsies rolls tonight. Lucy Ricardo would have loved it!
