COVIDTRY Poem 03
Noon cannon on Citadel Hill
Has gone silent
Ironically
When a new war has begun
One fought without guns
But rather with self-isolation

There’s an elephant –
Bearing your rare name

One Stanza Poem O184
Reunions in 2016 –
Many there have been –
Some were by chance –
Others were by plans –
Still others were plans
Afforded by chance –
Most were real –
But some were virtual –
Waiting to become real

The most effective
Civil disobedience –
Could be a protest –
Against Daylight Savings Time –
Keep living on the old time

The Smith Cloud is the
Milky Way Galaxy’s fart –
Coming back to it –
For an unpleasant whiff in
Thirty million years’ time
