Yours truly (an amazingly,
gracefully, and markedly modest
passively aging baby boomer -
formerly introverted long haired
pencil necked geek),

I've now read evolutionary
and feminist historians
and economists
and political scientists
agreeing, in a side by side custody
of the over-specialized eyes
and ears

Not competing against each other,

nor actively cooperating with each other,
beyond normal ethical...

Espousing irreverent greed

Protective Lyricism for the Ages Part One

In awe of Bob Dylan’s poetic creations 
The war of the villains eccentric provocations 
The score of penicillin for preventative medications 
The law of premonitions filled with the Holiest vibrations

Hungry hands grabbed slender agile ankles

where the world...
