A.G.E's Joint

Scanning screens in the DMZ A volley comes from the east, Saying the west is best. Others say they are the beasts If you don’t agree you are, too. In the crossfire of the media A song played entirely out of tune By people being legendary With the disenchantment Within their own minds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m getting old.

I have always been a camper and hiker. It is my preferred way to get out of the city and see parts of the country that I otherwise wouldn't. Back before I was married, I used to go to a state park in Beaufort SC, called Hunting Island. It lies about half way between Savannah and Charleston, making access to either place a snap. On trick I had learned in my trips down there is if I waited until the day after Labor Day I could get a campsite next to the beach and this year was no exception. I was with my buddy Karl and our site was next to the access boardwalk. We set the tent up and slipped the beer cooler discreetly under the picnic table for our week of fun and sun. And since we are pale people, we spend the time looking like Larry the Lobster. Late in the afternoon on our second day, we were sitting at the table figuring out where to eat.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. The seatbelt light is on. Please replace your tables as we are on our final approach to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. It’s a beautiful spring day down there in Atlanta, it’s 63F. and sunny. We’ll be disembarking at gate E-63. We at Delta Airlines appreciate you flying with us and we hope you will remember us for your travel needs. Please prepare for landing…” “E-63? Looks like I’ll be getting my exercise.” He looked ruefully at his waistline. “And I need it.” The laptop went dark and slid into the backpack. With an audible pop, the thin tray found its home and the soda can in to the offered bag. It occurred to him they were like the poop bags required of dog owners these days. Bag it up and toss it rather than leave the little bombs for everyone. For the better, he supposed. The text from Corporate had come before he boarded. There will be guests at the roll out. No indication of who they might be, probably Chines...
