The ride wasn't so bad
How long has it been?
I'll trade mine for yours
A provisional blessing
For every grassblade a prospect

This post might be considered a companion to At the Fair (I): Pie Town.
Where exactly in New Mexico
was Pie Town?
Pie Town was, and is, situated atop the Great Divide, about seventy miles west of Socorro, on "Pie-way 60".
From the links at that local site you can learn a bit about the history, the accounting methods, and the pies...
the moon in new mexico
can be too bright for
eyes
the sky so vast and blue
or of a colored hue, too
clear for lies
stars will be bright
in the cold night,
fortify,friends,
eat some pie
Thanks Charlie, lovely poem.
Put me in mind a bit of Ed's Vaquero:
In the background night is a house,
has a blue chimney top,
Yi Yi, the cowboy's eyes
are blue. The top of the sky
is too.
