letter from Paul, old friendÂ
when we were kids yes we played a lot
of monopoly but mostly I remember lyingÂ
in a cot on the porch of your lake cottageÂ
telling ghost stories in the dark I’d neverÂ
dreamed I could make up a gruesome taleÂ
as I went along, even less I’d like doing soÂ
you all opened up many new interests to meÂ
