Where rainbows end
Once upon a time there was Bobby.
Bobby was in his 70's, long white hair and he was wearing corduroy pants.
He'd sometimes take a drive someplace he had been to a long time ago.
There were moments when he encountered something that would awake memories in him, pictures of the past that hadn't crossed his mind in a while.
He remembered his old mate Pete once saying: "You know I could die tomorrow and I'd die happy in a way to think that other people were singing my songs."
Bobby sang Pete's songs sometimes.
Pete was inspired by what he read. But also by what he saw and whom he met.
He met a white man who walked a black dog.
He met a young woman whose body was burning.
He met a young girl, she gave him a rainbow.
Bobby drove in his car and thought of Pete.
A good friend, who died happily.
