Long Arrivederci Poems

at least bye for now or ‘till we meet again.’
a conventional phrase we always say
to people we’ve met and cared for.

In another country like in Italy,
Ciao o arrivederci is a...

goodbye
net neutrality
goodbye
the so-called “land of the free” online
goodbye
free exchange of ideas &

I spent my early life
Looking out from behind
The chain link fence on the turkey farm

After all, what could be the harm

If it was up to me
I would never...

I’ve been unaware of things that...

and predict my mood just by the way I look,

Turn off your youthlight
and say farewell to the child
embrace the gist of it
WE ARE NO LONGER FUN AND WILD

Such a lonely, sad word
Sometime there is no recovery
No recourse
Just the inevitable 

We say it so casually
Then turn away
Expecting the other to be

my favorite potato delicacy
French fries
Just the aroma makes me swoon
in sheer ecstasy ... bang   zoom
As a youngster, I could eat them everyday
if it were left up to me
French fries

Her acqua di Gio is fantasy art,      
un dolce far niente that lingered in scent;

Farewell, au revoir, arrivederci, auf wiedersehen
to the world that never cared to know my name
To the cerulean seas I've never seen
in which I never swam and searched for shells
and perfect round pearls reflecting rainbows

You played your pipe for me to dance,
as puppet master, worked the strings,
but today my heart will pirouette;
I am giving back the gold nose ring.

Last night I saw just how it is
Between yourself and naive...

Now it is finally the time
To say
Arrivederci winter
It was indeed a long Winter
I was already getting sick
Of the winter
That never seem to ended
Now finally my Father brough the spring today
And I am very happy about...
