Son Say Goodnight To Grandpa
“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”

as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born
fobbing blandishments as incentive
tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

Back in the day

Premium Member Summer Reforesting School
YinYin,
what did you most appreciate
learning at school this summer?

Probably in Community ReForesting.
You know, the EcoTherapy Class
I took

using "lunch" loosely
as synonymous with edible,

The Giant of Lisbellaw
Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow 
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams 
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

The stardust male and female still flush with light
From exploding stars, seeding new possibilities, our true progenitors.

Of historic love affairs

I was listening to The Naked Apprentice,

cautiously sifting for any substance
behind mindlessly reactionary mulish gruel,
universally bullying

of a tired,
hungry,
and pissed off mule.
