I try to mimic
your lisping speech—
because it's amusing,
because it's childlike,
because it's so unlike an adult,
because I never improve,
because you've married and moved away,
because we've become distant.
All I can do now
is imitate you
to get through
each day.

The most recognizable album cover in history, the photo of the
Beatles crossing Abbey Road, taken in the summer of sixty nine,
fifteen minutes before noon on August eight to be précised.
An iconic album cover for the image resonated with the fans.
There are wall posters of this photo and it seems men, my age,
in music industry have one in their living rooms or studios.
The photograph of the most influential band in the world walking
on a zebra crossing became one of the most imitated of all time.
I am one of those who imitated it five months ago, 19 of October
at eleven fifty in the morning, when we had photos taken crossing
Abbey Road, amidst a busy road in northwest London in St. John’s Wood
in the city of Westminster, outside Abbey Road Studios, formerly EMI.
We crossed Abbey Road in single file with me leading, followed by my
daughter and my granddaughter with our fourth person, my grandson
taking the pictures so he was not included, kind of disappointing.
How I wish we were there on October 9, John Lennon and my birthday.

When Darkness Glows, Imitating Bright Light
Where smoking peaks rise, from hell's ever spreading and malignant fires;
When far too oft sunny skies, find their shining blue glory is hidden,
What matters gaining treasured prize, if its blacken fruits are forbidden?

Truth
is better found in the voices of lovers.
Poets
merely play with words and
Artists
search the canvas for visual seduction.
