18. In those times when I climb in the wayback

machine I take out the old idealized memories, comfortable and joyous ones.

The sound of of the commons at Riverside City College. It's 1969 and Southeast Asia is behind me and someone has The Moody Blues on a radio and I am stoned and listening to "Voices in the Sky" and I am with friends and we think we are changing the whole world with peace, love, dope and music and we nearly did and there is a kite flying. I am not mentioning the red color of the sky and the police helicopters and how I had to remember not to smile while walking down the street cuz I could get busted for dope which the smile would clearly indicate.

Further back the beginning of summer and I was twelve and there is the banging sound of a screen door. Simpler.
