Three Symbols, A Wedding And Crawfish

Wedding
After a great wedding ceremony for my sister and new brother-in-law
A wedding my dad gave
Where Kaley sang "Love Me Tender"
Where Kovi was the ring bearer
Where Kim was the maid of honor
Where I was best man
Where David became a Vetter

Maiz
After that Kaley and I went out to eat
We went to a small Mexican restaurant
They didn't speak English
Since Kaley is now "gluten free"
I said "maheez", "miees", "miyeez"
"Coorn", "carn", "cahoorn"
Until they understood we wanted corn tortillas
Not flour

Heart Of Fire
Neighbors and friends of neighbors came over for a fire
I had welded a heart shaped iron thing together for the fire
Richard had given me the scraps of iron
I said it was "the heart of fire"
Jennie said everything I do is a symbol
"It's all meaning"
She said, "Show 'em some of your art"
I said, "I'm still working on it"
"But this, this (pointing to the fire) is my art."
Jennie's friend said "I just got a ring of fire"
She showed a fresh colorful tattoo of a ring
With flames coming off of it

Tap Root
After watching the car race,
Mark and I sat and talked
He showed me a small charred tree with a full "tap root"
He said:
     It's like your full circle
     The lakehouse's lake was destroyed by Ike
     There's trees growing
     There was the neighbor's fire
     Now the lake is coming back
     And here's a "tap root"
     TAP ROOT! (rock-n-roll!)
     I wanna make something from it

Crawfish
We went back to talking
I said I was hungry and mentioned crawfish
He said, "Maybe Friend's Pub" would be having a crawfish boil
"I don't know", I said, "but I want some crawfish for some reason"
Kaley and I went to the 5-O'clock
Jon had a shirt that said "Abe's - best gumbo around" or something
Where was Abraham pointing to?
Kaley said, "I was thinking the SAME THING"
Siri lied, but got us there
The food was excellent

Turn Or Burn
The guy, Jon, with the Abe's shirt then showed up at Abe's
A friend was with him - Jody
Kaley and I giggled and tried texting them to turn around
We wanted to be waving when they turned around
They didn't turn around so we went and said hi
We left and then there they were again at the light
We hollored "Quit following us!"
Jody said, "Left"
Matt said that they said, "Turn"
I hopped back off the turn lane
Followed to the stop light
Hopped back in the left lane
Jody said, "Left"
Matt said that they said, "Or Burn"

Go! Go! Go!
Jon sat motionless at the green light
Staring at me
I was laughing
Mr. Pibb had bubbled Kaley's brain
It's green!
It's St. Patrick's Day
It's green!
Go! Go! Go!
Like the Orange Show's
Jack Kerouac Fest 2013: Go!Go!Go!

Full Circle
I just sent Larry a message that he should try Abe's
He said, "I'll do that."
I said, "We got that off a guy's t-shirt"
Larry said, "Full circle"

Pi
Maybe that was Galations 3:14
Was it another 3:14?
In any case, it was
Etouffe from Abe's
