The Cat Lassie and the Potter Sometimes In a Frock
In a loose constrict
In what I am doing here
It occurs to me
A commonality
Between a Cat Lassie
And a Potter sometimes in a Frock.
It must be understood
The different characteristics
Of admire, aspire and inspire.
The inventor of the lavatory
The wheel, the motor engine
The meteorite mother of us all.
All I admire.
I exist, my feet are not sore
And it’s not too shitty anymore.
Ghandi, Mandela.
Wilde and Woolf.
Bowie, Simon but sorry Garfunkel not you.
The list goes on
I admire them all
To their brilliance I aspire
In listed order
In pairs -
Their selflessness set an example.
Their words are my education.
Their tunes are exhilarating.
But maybe because I am lazy
Only twice I have been roused to action -
Inspired (In the loose constrict of what I am doing here).
A Cat Lassie singing her heart out
Past the shallow
Acceptance of age and aesthetics
Being key to a dream.
A Potter sometimes in a Frock
On topic – shark in a tank
Cracking the consensus
With champion ceramics.
There is the commonality
Of the Cat Lassie
And the Potter sometimes in a Frock
Both inspired me
One to make a start
T’other to keep going with my art.
