teenage saviors

Post by winddance » June 23rd, 2024, 11:20 pm

revisit old friends
tolkien and watership downs
my teenage saviors
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.

how many times
did I cross the ocean
on Kon-Tiki?

or haunt Lovecraft's
shadowed Arkham
and Innsmouth?

and the noir world
of jaded master spy
code-named Quiller?

or sat by the river
in silent contemplation
with siddartha

and round the horn
on the frozen decks
of a sailing ship

playing guitars in the field
large expanse where horses roamed
BFF drinking Ripple
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

hitchhiking as EZ as pie
cow pie, in the fields near Gainsville
magic mushrooms for the savvy

Key West to upstate
usually a day trip with a few good rides
sometimes sleeping on the beach

1972, I am the lookout
ships from Colombia Jamaica
Mexico...keys coming to the Keys

Came of age, turned 21
in this little pristine hideawy
Key West, home to seekers

I am a carpenter
many times during the day I say oops
I must dive into the teal water for my hammer
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

I am 21
newly-minted physicist
(or so I thought)

resumes
cover letters
rejection slips

forklift driver
third shift while others sleep
schooling begins

I am 24
a break in the clouds
job offer

bittersweet
mainframe programmer
too many good-byes

we all change trains
one life to another
friends come, friends go...
but there's no other way
to build a lifetime
