Soldier Boy (for Dan Meade)

As he ran through the woods

he would slap the trunks of the trees

singing:"Ta-ra-ra-BOOM-de-ay!!"

freaking out the meditators.

He was one of the youngest, but

totally devoted to his teacher.

We drank, and he was my friend,

and he taught, and he was a 

real person, and he was a
wonderful person. Catch up
with you later, Dan.
