back in the day when light blue and white
were the only colors you would wear.

“How are you so lucky to be here
with the man, the war hero, who played
Commander William “Bill” Harbison?”
My best indoor performance ever
happened while your back was turned to me.
That was okay, ‘cause in my room was
whiskey and
South Pacific on tape.
