As I worked on this poem this morning, I thought at one point that it wanted to be a sonnet, but thirteen lines feels right. This poem is for Karl Patten:

See ya tomorrow.

Uh, Ron...this is really fine, but,w ell, I count fifteen lines, with the turn at the end of line seven. I enjoyed reading it.
