one day as a boy, I went down to the sea
clambered o'er rocks way out to the bluff

senses awakened by strong, briny smells
warming, the zephyr was gentle...

Our long time catered chef...
prepared a meal fit for (psst... me) a king

Actually professional cook

Two eggs over easy with a side of toast

People enjoy Specificity
So I’ll give them what they want
Deliberately after the murky rain fell for what seemed like years

On a stelliferous full moon night,
A lady, clad in white, 
Came out of an oyster.
Wow! The crowd is going boisterous!
She is wearing a glittery silver gown.
Look at that beautiful crown!
She is gracefully gleaming bright!
Attractive and...

Own assets of such validation  
More likely they own us, pretending we’ve got
The innate desire of nation 
How do we recognize our ethnicity
Must be ingrained...

She would not understand specificity
If it bit her in the arse,
If it smacked her in the eye, or if it
Rolled her around in a bed.

“All green-eyed people have fat legs,” she says.

An end-of-August day, the air is crisp--
the only hint that fall is on its way.

terrific chemistry of
selective attachment.

Inspiration shared in
a singular motion.
