5 hour layover in Denver. Did get through to a friend and he came down to the station to meet me. We went to Sobo 151, a Czech-American Sports Bar on Broadway. I ordered chicken paprikash.

I managed to sleep on the bus straight through to Salina. I woke up to a rainy Kansas Spring morning: Flat, glistening, green. Heavey rain at times, not like the drip-drip-drip of Montana sprinkles. Got to Lawrence and decided to stay at the Virginia Inn for two nights. There are no beds available for Friday-Sunday. I did not bring my sleeping bag.

At the Oread Bookstore where I wrote many a poem. Ate sushi; afterall, it's Wednesday.

Kansas: Thunderstorms and very green. 60s. Snow back in Montana.

I visualize bodies moving like water;
yet dare to sit stiff.
This chair is a pain though
what a small burden to bear.
My derriere
must appease me.

Excerpt from new poem you can find in my plog entry: "166.30 Rest for the dancer"
