travelogue
for Irene
Delaware:
looking through the fake
plastic clock
with its fake plastic workings
ooohing & aaahing
at the insides of books
Bellefonte:
crammed in the back
of a distillery
new & old friends
still stuffed from
a fabulous dinner
The Bronx:
figuring sure
we can park here
I mean what’s the worst
that can happen
right?
Manhattan:
a short tour of the places I hold dear
then drinks on St. Mark’s Place
not far from all the dead poets
& front-row seats for SIMON
(some fronter than others)
State College:
sharing the stage
trying through a dozen lines
to make sense of a world
that too often tips over
into madness
The Future:
the fun is not knowing
no map, no GPS
just a road that looks long
but could be a mirage
“there be dragons” – let’s go
