Analysis of Legacy from Highway 400.

Douglas Blair 1951 (London)



You're going to work now
in the Chair
seven months since the
pile-up on the 400
in heavy snows.
Disability stuff was
your life saver.
Now, it's the office.
you are pretty handy with
those controls.
even in tight places.
as I recall your cubicle
was a tight place
But many helpful friends
Await your smiling return.
Next Monday it is.
Dear Girl.
Doing so well.
