a frozen memory

 a frozen memory

i remember a slippery slope

in the freezing year of ‘62

i was taking a photo 

for me and you 

a frozen stream

i could not stop

with a long scream

and at a gallop

i hit the bottom 

and a great big boulder

i know i should have been bolder

easy to say now that i am older 

but i still remember 

that slippery slope in ‘62
