We bought the Bald Pate
Without even
Thinking,
The old boat
Was whispering,
Whispering and
Winking,
She’s given much
Pleasure
And such sweet
Adventure,
We built her a
Business,
To pay back her
Treasures.

With the Scorpio Moon
Lurking at 30,
Clive scheming
To retrieve
Nuthin Wong,
Samsung batteries
Exploding in unison,
The October wind
Banging
The be careful gong.

If you hadn’t
Come by
I might have died
In that age
Of near insanity,
When moths
Were eaten by doves
And once truth
Even cried,
When lines
Were stuck in bottles
And rhyme
Bogged down in mud,
To this place
Where oceans kiss
The beaches
In an ancient pristine way,
All I know Christine
I love you,
As I’ve done forever
And some days.

Peeling back
The onion
Peeling very thin
Right to the middle
The fiddle
And the spin,
The only way
To realize
Things are not
What they appear,
Putting back
The onion
Skin by skin.

The old full moons
That come and go
Take me high
Slam me low
Disappear
When you come by
Drop your things
Then say goodbye.
