@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Aetia, Eighth Grade Memory, Late Spring [XLIX]

[to Tommy, Spring, 1972]


The walk home deliberately prolonged (warm

day); dress shirts frontally unbuttoned; beneath

our slacks' cuffs, unshod socks glided through long grass:

this was a good, first intimacy---shared with

hm during eighth grade.

Community, communion,

Community, communion, intimacy, companinability can all be built up and carried on through the inanest of things such as a malingering walk after the last bell of the day. Middle school summers are quite magical if we care to capture/recapture life and goings on from those days.
