Last Saturday,
While driving around

of greater Philadelphia,
Running ordinary
weekend errands,
I clicked the signal
and turned right
On to
Street Road.

It's amazing the memories & emotions a place can elicit. I rambled on and on in my first attempt, and then realized that when words seem to fail, fewer are better. Here's my link: http://evenifiambeingpoured.blogspot.com/2010/03/stonybrook-haiku.html
