FLYING AWAY

I've been to Safeway more times than I want, Walmart too, just for something to do. I've been to the movies twice. Yes, there's a movie theater here, a duplex with turquoise carpeting on the walls, the only theater between Tucson and the border. I've eaten at the Arizona Family Restaurant, place of meetings in its private room, the Twist & Shout 50's Diner and I've bought a scale which shows I've lost 7 pounds.

I cannot wait to leave.

I've been listening to Jars of Clay's bluegrass "I'll Fly Away" - listening over and over again. I want to take up guitar again just so I can play this song. What a blessing of a song! How old it is! and I've never heard it before. I want to fly away.
