for her sister's one hundredth birthday
a new sweater purchase from a store blocks away
a goal coveted, though for the aged, no such thing
as risk-free walking
she believes
self help springs from iron determination
anchored by her walker,
she trudges,
dismissable pain from battered knees
that grind in bone shrapnel
sapped by the demands of her quest,
her return walk of measured step affliction,
fatigue eroding
"Should I call police to usher me home?"
her thoughts like fabric fraying
in the ruling wreckage of movement, willfully overcome
she wraps her sister's white sweater that
ribbons their legitimacy
that hold them together
curbing minds drifting
daily quest to fight fading
two sisters, resilient blooms
to rage at pulls to brokenness
to slip what traps the aged
their undimmed merit in the slow lane
hardy hearts still beating
pivoting
in life flourishing love
that holds its footing in this world's
detachment
Poem composed: October 3/21
Once upon a time, there was a swift hunter
Chased deep into the distant dense forest
While searching for animals, he saw a tiger
Roaring, footslogging to a fresh meat nearest
The hunter rushed to a vine, climbed on the tree
Where he met the mother-monkey and her tot
He begged to temporary stay with the monkey
Both looked down: Tiger gated at tree-root spot
They agreed to take turn to be a trust sentry
The tiger ordered the monkey to kick man down
He is the killer of our neighbors and your family
Sorry! Wise act is to help life even with faults
Late at night, the tiger had a smooth trickery
Hey man! Your wife and kids miss you tonight
I’ll let you go home if you push down the monkey
Your wife and kids can’t eat nor sleep, but cry
Faint hunter envisioned his wife’s tears at dinner
Somberly pushed the monkey in a dicey trail
The sleepy monkey’s neck held by fawning tiger
Stupid tiger! Deadly part is at the edge of my tail
Released the neck, turned to the tail of monkey
Abruptly she jumped up to the treetop by vine
I was sleepy and felt! Now we both are risk-free
Relax! Nap! Pitiful hunter couldn’t close his eyes
They are,
Still in touch with reality
They Value logistics over statistics,
They ask the right questions.
They don't believe in a totally cashless society,
Their vision for the future includes a roadmap,
That leads to prosperity for more than 10.
They see People, Water and the environment,
As assets that should never be auctioned off to the highest bidder,
They see benefit in strong communities.
They never make cuts across the board,
They understand that some services should never be contracted out.
That due diligence in this day and age is a heavy responsibility,
And put extra time and resources into it.
They understand that most white collar crime increases when,
Staffing levels drop to a point where,
The temptation to borrow and pay back,
Without anyone being the wiser,
Seems risk free to more people than you think.
They don't believe in overtaxing children,
But see value in afterschool jobs.
They refuse to hire spin doctors.
