Ode To Duno Brown
Duno Brown, you brought orange and purple into my life
I did not realize until I met you how exciting old agers can be.
You taught me to get rid of things I don’t care about,
And to cherish the things I do
My polka dotted stuffed frog in oranges and greens,
My favorite red Mickey Mouse T-shirt where his grin is ridiculous
I am glad I met you in 2021, you made Zoom okay;
Better than okay, you made it exciting and joyful.
I looked forward to it; because you were dazzlingly fun.
You glorify the loveliness that old agers can bring to the carpet.
I felt like we were on a magic carpet ride.
You could have kicked me off in Kalamazoo or New York City.
I would not have cared, I might have loved rolling onto a stranger.
Meeting you and spending just a few days was enough.
