letter from Paul, old friend
when we were kids yes we played a lot
of monopoly but mostly I remember lying
in a cot on the porch of your lake cottage
telling ghost stories in the dark I'd never
dreamed I could make up a gruesome tale
as I went along, even less I'd like doing so
you all opened up many new interests to me
