Pieces of the Puzzle
-Childhood Memory
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Adult voices...Blah...blah...blah...
A cowboy hat on the shelf - toy gun too!
Reach out - mine!
Giant strangers everywhere - pounding the floor with heavy feet!
Adult voices - angry and mean.

Waylon sings on the radio, about good old boys.

She grabs me - saying something...

She's gone again!
Gun - gun! Hat! Look at me, a cowboy!
Serious now - just like John Wayne and Lee Marvin!

Hello!
Who is she?
A girl!
She's staring - lashes long and curious.

Who is she?

She's still smiling!
Her eyes...Is she - is she?
What is pretty - her?
