BOLTS AND NUTS

Suntan lotion smells so good to me. Swimming pool water looks so inviting. Old, browned by the sun, people look so much better to me than old white like flour people. The problems of the nation and world seem to be back-burnered to me when I am around pools at resorts.

Marco Polo games. Water basketball. Water volleyball. Lap swimming. Kids playing. Cannonballs. Beach balls. I just don't tire of it.

Blue skies. Cloudless. Mountain tops punching out from the desert floor to give a pictured painting effect. Almost surreal in space. Cardboard cutout day.

That's the nuts and bolts of it. The carefree way. Idyllic. My way.
