But he hadThe imaginary support he needed to venture beyondThe small environment he'd come to know as hisHome town.Friends thought him foolish and felt free to fre-Quently tell him so. Deep down they all felt envy.Envious that he could muster, where they could not,The courage that was necessary to embark beyondThe notion that survival was based upon the abilityTo rise at seven a.m. five days a week.He felt joy. And well he should. He was a "babe inThe woods" and a "kid in a candy store" all at the same time. The world was his oyster and he plannedTo shuck it, cover it with Tabasco, and slurp it downHis cake hole all within an "El Sobrante fortnight".Definition of an "El Sobrante fortnight" is yet to be determined.
