Gene

You don't know how to curl your fist. Have you ever steered the back of the truck? Ever burnt out a stump with a graveyard fix in the middle? Bat in one hand as you threaten the boy. One more step and I go and get the shotgun...........................................................Two blows and peace with the man. Vanilla tobacco curled from his peaceful pipe. No re-payment was asked for. You been favoring that shoulder long enough boy, get up!

Eerie and wistfully haunting. Vivid images of the man are floating in my mind.
