Time Travelers Wait For the Green Light

time travel’n peace —
ought we find rather death,
war — tread on me.

funny the face, the companionship
of outer space, the innocence
of the sun and sky.

she still provides
the radiance of warmth;
him the blue or gray stormy eyes.

down ‘low discovery of weeds,
white and yellow petals, bitter tea.

commoners in chicory-chattering.
synchronous chattels, green and tarnished.

wile away withering hours, wemberlies
wheedle into every corner.

down to brass tacks, blowup buses
when school’s back in session

bananas in lunch pail...we’re all going

wemberlies - worried
brass tacks - essentials

A poem that should travel well. Glad to see you are still posting. We still have only one recorded death from virus here in NZ. I am emailing poems to everybody I can to keep them smiling. Also recorded by phone for local radio. Take care David in NZ
