By

my own father loved you best.
All gone in an instant, one busy street, and one...

A cacophony of cheers
Sand sprays like fireworks
From feet, hands, ball, hair.
Four women, two-a-side,
In a battle for the ages.

A motion of fluidity and a
Knowledge brought forth

Kaftans, mini-skirts, Carnaby Street fashions.
Angel Delight, Hirondelle wine and that sheepskin rug.

Magdalen Laundries kept dark, dark secrets!
Nylon socks, Cuban heeled boots,...

Let’s give credit where credit is due.
Trump’s accomplishments—I’ll give a few—
should be mentioned today,

January nineteen---4-point-0.
Our economy’s good,
