The 4th of July

Here's wishing you and yours a Happy Fourth of July:

"Fourth of July Night"

The little boat at anchor in black water sat murmuring to the tall black sky
A white sky bomb fizzed on a black line.
A rocket hissed it's red signature into the west.
Now a shower of Chinese fire alphabets,
A cry of flower pots broken in flames,
A long curve to a purple spray, three violet balloons--
Drips of seaweed tangled in gold, shimmering symbols of mixed numbers,
Tremulous arrangements of cream gold folds of a bride's wedding gown--
A few sky bombs spoke their pieces, then velvet dark.
The little boat at anchor in black water sat murmuring to the tall black sky.

- Carl Sandburg

Still light here in the West, but soon that's what we'll see.

Hope you had fun Michael. Got the 'Shrooms book -- thank you so much.

Thanks, I hope you did too. The weather wasn't screaming blue skies, but I did go for a run in the ran, which was nice. And you are welcome!
