Nutrition is Tough from a Vending Machine
You can't see me
I can see you though
Your calling is beyond the realm of reality
We worked the fields together
That night shift almost ate us alive
You would bring fresh fruit and pita bread
While the rest of us were sneaking beers and junk food
There's nothing a Hershey Bar with almonds can't cure
Milk chocolate the worst for wear
Those almonds though saved the night in spades
Nutrition is tough from a vending machine
I stole some of your red seedless grapes a few times
I knew you knew
You never said anything
I always liked that about you
I can see you though
Your calling is beyond the realm of reality
We worked the fields together
That night shift almost ate us alive
You would bring fresh fruit and pita bread
While the rest of us were sneaking beers and junk food
There's nothing a Hershey Bar with almonds can't cure
Milk chocolate the worst for wear
Those almonds though saved the night in spades
Nutrition is tough from a vending machine
I stole some of your red seedless grapes a few times
I knew you knew
You never said anything
I always liked that about you

Hershey bar with almonds...that's my poison of choice...when I go there. Growing up as a garden imp, vending machines were like weird boxes of wtf to me 😂

Vending machines are fascinating.
Lots of terrible choices but sometimes you gotta go with what's there and be grateful for it....

Yeah, I did those for awhile too.
My lowest moment was during a snow storm and being stuck at work and having to eat Dinty Moore Beef Stew ....

In a way, DUP has been a vending machine...
Some healthy choices. Some decadent. And some indulgent snacks.
And I still have all these quarters. Sigh.

Yes
DUP has been quite a ride.
We have a few more months so I will quietly copy my poems and try to decide what to do with them...
It's been a privilege knowing you Mark ...
Thx fie all...

May roam for a few more poems, but now seems a good enough time to wish you so much luck on your artistic travels.
It's been a pleasure Gary. I will never forget your kindness re. Lori. Last week i received a love letter from the grave and the words are etched on my heart Going to do bits n' pieces of travelling and then probably return to the South of England. I fucking love my Nation, but there are one too many tombstones in this land.
Every time you hear Blondie, raise a glass across the Atlantic. Take good care of yourself. Rob
