Stories

Reaching fifty can be a turning point for many. For a particular Key West man, it leads to renewed interest in riding his Harley. Each day is an opportunity to explore the highways and byways; each night brings the possibility of making new friends.

A collection of random poems and other short journeys of the mind.

Topic span: Space, Insanity, Death, Society, Frustration, Beauty, Peace, Despair, Intimacy and Sex -- but most are actually love poems.
