Summer Dreaming
why not 
   simply pack
a bag with
books,
          oranges, wallet,
        notebooks,
shoes and toothbrush
   and
go to BC and
   dream in
dawn amongst
   mountain lupine
             crystal
 cerulean
       rivers?…
(but the
     door still
needs fixing, the
               path needs
repairing)
