Oh, for informational purposes only, I am a card carrying member of the ACLU, and here is my membership number: 68649508.
This is also the title of a book which I self-published. The cover was done by a professional photographer, by the name of Brian Record, who currently lives in Las Vegas. The editing was done by Steven Bentley Thomas. The book was published and shipped, or given directly, to about 30 individuals and no more. I have my own personal copy. I shipped them Certified Mail/Return Receipt requested and still have some of the green return cards. It was published and shipped prior to my publishing on AP. Each poem in that book is now on AP.
Since publishing these poems on AP, I have done some editing on a few of them, and those few are not identical to the ones in the above volumne. There have been changes in titles; spacing, some phrasology.

This book was a "limited gift edition" for close friends and family members. DCK

Imagine slithering beneath the sea

We walk alone by choice or chance,
No matter what, we do our dance. -
Spring has sprung
The grass has risen -
I walk the road
Burdens lifted from -
