Small Town Walk


walking
street to street
from party to party
ask around
to find the best one
"it is at Mikes"
"which Mike?"
"Tall Mike"
15 minutes, or less
with the big striding
small town walk
my campfire girl says:
"slow down
you walk too fast"

  8. I like this Ollie. We people with long legs always get the walking too fast comment at one time or another. I like the story in this.
