They travel along the East Coast of the United States in Rocinante, Noah's 1969 VW bus, each one carrying their past with them.

Poetic Moments
A collection of poetry that explores and celebrate genuinely personal moments in life.
Franklin Lafayette King was born in the Panhandle of Texas and spent much of his youth on the Blackland Prairie. He received a commission through the University of Texas in Austin and soon became involved in the Vietnam Conflict. After additional academic preparation, he moved to the foothills of the Appalachians. In addition to combat, he experienced both the eyes of a hurricane and an F-4 tornado, events that were to influence much of his later work.
