I made some sketches of the mountains last week

The Front range with its dark blue arrogance 

I'll keep them for a while, but likely will toss them before anyone sees them 

 

I heard some new music on the trip home

Folk music,  old jazz,   a mix of things I cannot even describe

there is probably some way I could send clips to friends, but I won't 

 

One afternoon I spent two hours in a book store

small circles in and around tall wooden shelves

I got dizzy, but it was a good dizzy 

 

I'll describe it to someone

the next time I get asked about my trip west

  when I feel like it matters
