Like Zeus’s Athena
And Alexander’s Hephestian;  
In oracle and verse-
Transient of continents
From the warm breath of the New World 
to the Whispering sands of the old, 
so Ancient and...

How he got there; is  a mystery

aged only twenty-three,

sometimes within a blink
the exact moment auguring conception 
difficult to identify or pinpoint

The times have fallen hard now, to scenes played on 'unmade' roads
Without my volition, and despite intentions, goals;
Indifference took precedence; a lust of life was part,
The key to understanding then, as now,Was placed a piece...

all automatic alligators arrive arrogantly
barely behave beautifully but brazenly
carousing with creepy cruddy crocodiles
desperately denying despicable wiles
effectively expediting expediency
forever forsaking fruit flies who flee

hijacking horrific herbivore’s handy houses
igniting ingenious iguanas in I-o-Way
jubilantly...

Not a drinking, carousing, laughing, eating meeting.
