6359. LEGIONAIRE

LEGIONAIRE
From all the rolls of the departed they
have excised your name. That is where
I first realized the difference between
'he thought of you a lot' and 'he thought
a lot of you'. That was the difference
and I'd never realized it before.
-
All and long over these mountains, people
of all ages have made paths and marks and
places between, whereon they trod. Some of
that I still see  -  Pennsylvania is a diffident
place; all those lies of The Walking Purchase,
and no one really willing to talk of it.
-
The locals couldn't figure out a thing : those
sons of William Penn, insincere tricksters
hiring runners to do their dirty work while
the Indians kept walking. What a mess was 
that? Everything shimmied down.
