Clouds hang low today covering the ridge,
if I drive up there on my bike I can hide in
a steel blue cloud and people will say:
where is he? Him! He is trying to find
the milky way where postmen wear red
uniforms and say Good Morning, Sir before
handing you the gas bill.
Sigh, here back on earth, the post has been
privatized low status, casual work, they
wear jeans and anorak and have no time for
a chat, their route is long and a man with
a timepiece follows them around.
When coming down from the ridge I will not
carry tablets, stay silent, drive home and
make a cup of coffee.
love this about Hemingway I always adimered his writing

Your poems make me want to go back to all my old Hemmingway books :) Great stuff! Totally fascinating how you stream every line together to come up with such powerful imagery. THanks!
