Ye ole rock from yonder way

Oh' how I miss you ole rock from yonder way, you never told me your name. I would see you day to day, and I would sit at your lower half just to hear the ocean sing to our being placed astray. on the ocean you would sit alone and shallow. but I would see you in my meery day as I would pass you on my meery way. Oh how I miss you ole rock from yonder way. the ocean in its anger hath drifted you away. Oh how I miss you ole rock from yonder. tell me ole rock from yonder way, where are you sitting and where are you mitting on today. as the ocean rises up to covet the bay.
Ye ole rock from yonder way. I see the moon, I see the stars, I see the ocean, I see the birds fly over head, but Ye ole rock from yonder way, you are the one to make my day. Ye ole rock from yonder way.

walking the hills of seattle

I have arrived on the west coast, and although life isnt' quite what is was back east. I have to honestly say that being in seattle has given me alittle more freedom than I had back in washington dc. I do seem to have more freedom out here. I can walk into a public Library without being searched. I can walk into a homeless shelter and not be searched. absolute freedom. as I walk the hills of seattle I keep thinking to myself. maybe americans are getting their constitutional rights back. and once you know who leaves office maybe our rights will be restored.
seattle was built on a hill. so I often wonder just how many hilly areas are there in seattle. as you read the stories of august mallory, think about my essays, think about my poems, think about my life. walking the hills of seattle, is no joke. walking the hills of seattle is treacherous. but this city lies right on elliott bay. this city lies near the pacific ocean. this city, what more can I say about this city. could I say that seattle is known for the rain. could I say that seattle is known for its ever changing climate. as I walk the hills of seattle I guess in many ways I am blessed to have the freedom to move from place to place without restaint. washington dc take note. allow america to have its freedom back.
