That year the page was pictures. The city, the dogs, the music. Baby Huey and the concerts already have their place on the music wall. What I wrote beside the pictures was shorter than it looked.

What I believe is a private road. It belongs to the person on it. It is tied to the earth, and to whatever light in a person no machine has copied. I do not need the beginning settled. Someone, something, out there is bigger than me. I leave it there.

The strays have their own page. Strays I took in.
