we each

at times

should

remember

the most

elevated

and

lucky

moment

of

our

lives.

for me

it

was

being

a

very young

man

and

sleeping 

penniless

and 

friendless

upon a 

park 

bench

in a

strange

city

which

doesn’t say

much

for all

those

many

decades

which

followed.
