on slippery rocks on the banks of a rushing river
as a child and hitchhiking in college.

than in the 1950s, with regard to both crime and accidents.

Today that broken leg would be a source

I long for a simpler time when life was taken less seriously.

without the jaundiced filter of past disappointments.
