Nothing like sitting nude on the couch with the cool air touching my bareness,

 I feel wild , a child in the wild the outdoors the

Meadows with tall grasses, the corn field in Bra-

Sil in my earliest days an image I remember so

Vividly so definitely, walking between the stalks 

Shucking a corn, all that soft mane of that corn

Between my fingers and sticking to my hands,

So soft, the green tusks outer covering so dry

And soft-rough-tough etching my lower arms,

A discovery a revelation a pastime a recovery

Wonder if I kept that piece of shucked corn or

Threw it back into the camouflage as I was not

Supposed to be there doing that, the wild infant

Rebellious, curious, defiant to a point in me! Oh

Yeah! Loved that adventurer  me  then, still do!

It has never been lost in all these 70 years! I am

So proud of that, I guard this side of me firmly

You or anyone else will never take this away

From me! Don’t even try, you are wasting your

Time and breath hat is always most of me, see!?

I am me! Me me me me me! You see me!?!?!? Try hard, try harder,

Still try harder again, I am more, much more than bare bear skin!

I am!  Tony, Friday , January 26, 2024 going to be close to 70 today, 

YAY! 9:21AM now.
