--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rushing to the mailbox every day, like the wound up days of a long past youth.

Day after day, watching the clock at work, like a love struck teenager burnin’ to see my new sweet heart.

After two weeks of faithfulness to a sound I’ve only heard on someone else’s lips, a beauty only glimpsed on American Song Writer Magazine,

Whipping the jeep into the driveway, I bailed out to grab up the package at my back door.

Gently carrying her in like a new bride, with all the delicate fervor of a virgin undressing his new wife, I opened the box.

Prettier than any picture, solid as any virtue, there she laid, so bright and shining.

I pull her in close to my breast to warm her comb and keys, savoring her heftiness and fine craftsmanship.

She warms well and quick, and oh what a sound!

Blissful and warm, bright and deep, her tone tickles my ears as I hammer out some old forgotten “stoner” melody.

Thank You American Song Writer, you have inspired me deeply.

Yours in Honor and Respect,

Richard Pinkerton
