Scott Bigger 203 West Fowler Ave. #2 West Lafayette, IN 47906 10-22-82 Forgotten path I drag my feet this lost alley to find my mind will catch in the passing cracks; that glimmer, that whisper, will be snatched by the wind and now muttering remembers only the half. I would dig in the cracks and check piled leaves, rummage the cans before morning's shatter where thoughts are lost to rich and rank men whose elephant job is to heap them in archival yards; I'd carry them home in my hands, in my pockets or take a full lung and not breath till I'm home or soak up a sleave full to smear on a page or echo them over so they hum in my bones; but I should not shadow where ideas will stroll, yet wander that I might go, too, the same road.
