Poets Who Have Sailed



Looking back when

I was dating

legally again

remembering

the moments


just thinking 4am.


And I have no interest

in going back there now

hell raise was a season

and it is over


bows.


Women were divorced also

everyone was new in a way of course

quite seasoned 60 or so

amused.


And we had a lovely time

dancing drinking too

hiking writing to each other

explored Virginia views.


They had all been married

to professionals

and I was living casually

poverty pray tell. 


I didn't think about it

I was in La La Land

remembering the movie

now I get the ending


awesome scene

not sad.


Romantic moments found us

alive last round it was 

and now we have

the aftermath


poems written loud. 


Isms not the answer

all of them just graves

give me poetry and hope

working class and saves.


Today she put me on the deed

I have a mortgage now

but more than this

I'm not employed


no grades just trades allowed.


When once there was "you're fired"

send up the next one please

now we have retirement

and the best of me.


Casablanca moment

please pass the cheddar cheese

have risen fallen many times

and having learned


I pause upon my knees.

Waiting To Reappear

 I had a state park pass that was stolen, appaently, off the mirror in my van.  It was a LIFE pass, good for geisers, who do not have enough...
