Somewhere in the 21st century
     we find our backs arched, heavy
bent, doubled over, crooked spines
     with the weight of the modern world
Nobody seems to know how

Hey there Avidian
who do you
think you are?

Some rara avis
eminently gifted?
a New Age prophet
with memory that learns
and yearns to grow?
Ovidian offspring
of eminent domain?

The yeuk to replicate, this
antsiness to clone— were they
preprogrammed hyper-neatly?
How did your being
and becoming

Like all things related to screwballs
and misfits
I was born looking for a word
inside a clock.

Back then, time ticked loudly,
clocks ran faster than chipmunks. 
Young bones were fueled by green grenades
plucked from low-hanging life-lines.

I needed words...

To  the present lords of all misrule.
Carpe diem once was for the nonce
Its writ...

Young bones were fueled by green grenades,

Mother said that If I lived to be a man
I would be all strewn about
like a...

You may recall our worries for the two.
We needed prayers for them when they were new.

They have turned into active little girls.
With matching big brown eyes and bouncing curls.

Sweet Avis Jean and happy Raye Kristine

2 years somehow have slipped on by
that day you passed away.
Leaving me this pool of tears,
the grief, too much to bear.

So young you were to depart,

I believe in you.
Our souls streaked through a dark night
You touched me
As we crossed each others wind whipped tales.

One thousand leagues,watery expanse
Distance us.

Flawless lucidity.

We are unique,flawed
We rise,we collide
We forgive,we heal.
Together...
