What Jim Said About Bowbells, North Dakota

When ghosts come in the mail,
the sound of the wind is a life.
If a boy covers a town in fast smiles,
a minute is a big thing.
A grandfather's truck is a pocket,
a story is a thunderstorm.
A stone hears no music. The train
tracks follow a creek with a bad name.
