This is the creek
-Where my E.T. glasses were smashed after everyone made fun of them
-Where many of my G.I. Joe men were lost
-Where I fell in while riding my bike and had to have 8 stitches in my head
This is the ditch
-Where I smoked my first cigarette while wearing yellow cleaning gloves, so our parents would not smell our fingers
-Where I had my first beer
-Where my brother and the other kids in the neighborhood made re-makes of Friday the 13th and The Lost Boys
This was the place I would go so the boys and men would not see me cry
I don't know if everyone had one of these places----it was nice to visit today-This place that held so many memories for me----and it's nothing but a smelly and muddy ditch.

What a fine ditch it is!
If this is what a muddy, smelly ditch looks like in Mississippi, I'm excited to see pictures of what the pretty stuff looks like.
I hope your trip home was safe and radical.
