five pairs, five victims,
five lies for truths suspended
on Christmas-ornamented line
after the walk from school
ends at popsicles, televisions,
cigarettes, and bike pedals,
bullies forget
a dog barks at sunset strollers,
shoe factories in china smoke,
voices shoot through wire
in the night quiet settles
on alley cat tails,
breezes knock heels together
Liked this poem, Patrick. Excellent closing.

Ya learn sotnihmeg new everyday. It’s true I guess!
Joe:Perhaps you better let the owners of the two Calistoga wineries that their grapes come from the Central Coast, as their websites indicate otherwise.What gives? Did you not look at their wine offerings before writing this?
