Analysis of Memories Of Ouray
Nothing about life is impossible,
viewed while looking up
Nothing about death is reversible,
viewed while looking down
All in between is contestable,
winds blow North and South
Nothing promised, nothing cursed
—the choice to laugh or frown
(Ouray Colorado: October, 1995)
