[I will receive money once.]
       

I will receive money once.

                                Sometime next summer I am told.
                                My father will be old enough and
                                will pay the taxes on his professoring
                                and it will be one sum and enough to
                                buy a little land. Only for land Not for
                                anything else.

                                My life has always been not quite the
                                same. I was thinking of you. I'm moving
                                to Hawaii for music. To write. Forever
                                grateful. Men

                                I have known are changing their lives.
                                Coming to life as a frontier. To see the
                                beginnings.
