Whimsical Illusion

Distances separate tomorrow, today bother why?
City streets and shops, neon lights and mall crops,
highways and cars, cafe frappe and chocolate bars,
low rise denims to woo, funky earrings and chic shoes,
blackberry and fruit cherry, discos and bows,
their jazzy tops, my weekly flops,
their silence and my chop- chops,
trashed and caught up why?
foreign soil, a stranger tomorrow, today bother why?

Dreams manipulate tomorrow, today bother why?
Look down and frown, from where is this clown?  
Hello friend, which town?
Why wear grandma's gown?
break limitations friend, come down,
eye to eye, away from money's sound,
Goodbye friend, different sky , distance noun,
overlook me friend, anticipate why?
Different people, views and news tomorrow, today regret why?

Im glad my poem about my sister hit home with you, started writing back in Jan. and wasn't sure if it was right, but some nice comments.. I sometimes have visions of John Lennon when I write or am thinking,,knowing how he wrote from his life and heart good and bad, happy and sad... take care Michael
