Joe Cytrynbaum and Gnome
at the Manley High School Football Playoffs.
Manley lost that day, but it wasn’t due to
Mr. C’s lack of enthusiasm.

Joe Cytrynbaum sits amongst the rapids.
There was this large rock, that had a perfect
seat carved into it, from the hundreds of years
of this strong running river.
While sitting in this natural throne,
you could hold yourself steady
while these masses of water rushed passed.

We were cruising in the van, from Camp Echo,
towards the Canadian border.
Cy was certainly jamming the U2.
“What’s lost is nothing to what’s found,
and all the death that ever was, set next to life,
would scarcely fill a cup.”
