Pieces of the Puzzle



-Childhood Memory

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Adult voices...Blah...blah...blah...

A cowboy hat on the shelf - toy gun too!

Reach out - mine!

Giant strangers everywhere - pounding the floor with heavy feet!

Adult voices - angry and mean.

I touched it...Am I doing something wrong?

Oh well!

But the shiny gun - metallic - ready to shoot! Bang! Bang! And the hat - where's a mirror? Where?

Waylon sings on the radio, about good old boys.

Oh no! Grandma - finger pointing - angry - angry - always angry.

She grabs me - saying something...

Okay, okay! Just let go.

She's gone again!

Gun - gun! Hat! Look at me, a cowboy!

Serious now - just like John Wayne and Lee Marvin!

Serious now - just like John Wayne and Lee Marvin!

Wait. Someone!

Turn around slowly

Hello!

Who is she?

A girl!

She's staring - lashes long and curious.

Think - think...

What?

Is she looking at me?

Why can't I stop looking at her?

Who is she?

Look down, then back up.

She's still smiling!

Her eyes...Is she - is she?

What is pretty - her?
