BACK TO THE FUTURE I wish I could have ridden on my great uncle's junk truck with my teenage dad we could have struggled to carry rusted iceboxes and flat tires through the depression together I wish I could have snuck love poems in my mother's purse when she was in a different high school each year we could have played Back To The Future Instead I have given change to every store- front solictor I've seen and verses for all dark- haired women kissed I have been the combination of my parents almost half a century © Don "Kingfisher" Campbell |

I have to admit I am emotionally moved by the stories of my parents' childhood. I feel history resonate through all my experiences. Don "Kingfisher" Campbell Bonfire contributor |
