Spring Goes Viral

A Relationship Caution

Taking a moment on World Poetry Day to reflect on the importance of poetry and connection in times like these.

Viruses need love too and cannot live without it They can however get desperate at times (You may know the type) and smother you to death Wash your hands

Driving on the Tracks

Audio Recordings, News, Ranch Life, Travel / tagged Pandemic / March 16, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
I think you are supposed to take some air out of the tires It wasn’t something that we thought about gliding across the prairie night with no one needing to steer and lots of cold beer and the throttle (they had throttles then) It is something we would probably have thought about going across the old wooden trestle that and the freights that run at all hours Except that we were too busy holding back our friend in the back almost as strong as the three of us in his full blown panic Trying to leap over the front seat to grab the quivering wheel
