This poem was finished on 6-16-91 at 1:15 a.m. The inspiration and title, Days of You, comes from the name of a band that a friend of mine, Leslie Goldblat, is in. The poem was written on my cousin's computer in the basement of 38 Fairholt Rd. South, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

This poem was written on 7-15-90. I felt like writing so I asked K what I should write about. Jokingly, she said to write about my thoughts, and that's where this poem began. I finished it about one week after my first parachuting jump at California City.
