(July 26, 2023)
the movie still sucks
and the popcorn still is stale
butter not rancid
yet you "checked out" early Tom*
but some come back to our perch
*(Vietnam Vet Tom Nye rarely missed a Wednesday morning washday behind the Win Dixie grocery store's French Avenue plaza - he died earlier this summer without the courtesy of a pre-wake for his pals. Drat! You! Tom Nye. Read a pre-dawn book in sodium arc-light and since you stopped drinking those awful 16-ounce supposed beers but continued to kill clean air with your cancer sticks, it was no real surprise you found an early exit. The few of us who remain to witness the moving solar light-show occasionally call on you in semi-unserious jest over what you are missing. What we are missing - you - is a source both of joy for you and sorrow for our loss. Enjoy The Rest, pal."
