musical shadows
dance across a waning sun ~
kingfisher coda
A comment Mr. Hankins made brought
this to light
As I followed the popo
Affectionately called one night
Traveling up
Kings Highway
The officer
Traveling my way
Did with malice
And for thought
Like an out of
depths aquanaut
Empty a full ashtray into the street
We won't go
Into his example
Or his lack of
manners sample
We'll put those items
For the moment,on the shelf
Let's consider the one ruining the earth
Will be brought to ruin himself.......Revelation 11:18
Pollution is pollution
No matter it's degree
Hooty owl may have said it
Yet I'm positive you'll agree
That our gracious LANDLORD
With full authority
Said it best.Give a hoot,don't pollute.
The Aquanaut
The ship sank two survivors on a raft
the Japanese and me.
On the first two days, sharks circled the raft
but they lost interest and disappeared
The Asian man shook my hand and said goodbye
jumped overboard and swam to
the land of the rising sun.
I was rescued by a fishing vessel the next day
thinking the Japanese had drowned didn`t
think more about him, till I met him in Tokyo
where he made a living as a swimming instructor.
