In some places
where innocence has yet
to fade,
one might still intrude
on an American
apple pie day,
but

in my hands
for many years.
My memories
of those small town times
once
sharp as a blade of
St. Augustine*
have all been
whitewashed away.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
