Spring, Pretzel, Towel

Legion Park Farmers Market

Original typewritten page for Spring, Pretzel, Towel by Chris the Poet

Transcription

Spring, spring, we've jumped into Spring! The first season, the season of poetry, the reason for poetry, rebirth and renewal! Fair ladies floating over the blooming Earth like a breeze, blowing away sad sorry Winter from our waking eyes, stopping hearts in their dresses and starting them again, doing the same to time... Now is a time for rest, for tanning and turning and yawning on sands beneath blushing clouds and an envious sun, for salt-drenched hair to be tied like a pretzel in a towel, used as a pillow foundation for daydreams behind closed lids lighted red by the bright day... There's no better contentment than to be young and beautiful and on Spring Break.
