Drawing: Faces No. 838 - illuminated first class menu
By Jack Brummet
This is from our trip to Colombia last November, where we were able to upgrade with miles and fly round-trip in first class. With about 20 hours on my hands, I went to work on the menu (the food and drink, BT Dubs, was fantastic).

Poem: September 13, 1985
By Jack Brummet
It was quiet as a painting
in Berkeley,
driving at three a.m.
on Telegraph Avenue
toward Oakland,
to the delivery room.
I saw a new moon
hung on our old sky.
We watched the monitor
and waited.
Her robber-stockinged face
came down and one bleat
to the rafters
started us all breathing again.

Poem: [don't look back]
By Jack Brummet
Don't
look back
Means no regrets
Look back on the good times
But leave the rest
Just ask Lot's wife
And the other pillars of salt
Standing outside Gomorrah
Like Easter Island statues
Means no regrets
Look back on the good times
But leave the rest
Just ask Lot's wife
And the other pillars of salt
Standing outside Gomorrah
Like Easter Island statues
