Saw Wicked in New York City
Man of La Mancha too
Rode the free bus in Chapel Hill

                   And you.

She wished me abundant joy
Which I wish her back
Nixon destroyed Cambodia
George W. destroyed Iraq

Satellite Beach is a tiny town
Her dress was grey and black
Give her abundant joy
And no anxiety attacks

                  La Florida!

Taught the tweens a poem a day
Emily, Poe, Frost
Still like the poems
When I'm feeling lost

Gotta work today
Try to make it through
Dante and Milton
In a class at JMU

                 'tis true

Poems are the little way
Two years in yon Taipei
Bubble tea. Yum! Xie Xie.

                   practice.

Desperately seeking Sophia
Daily life is a grind
Also seek Ms. Susan Meek
Seek but do not find

A poem because she's pretty
In Bangkok Buddhamind
One night in New York City
I hope you treat me kind

                   La Mancha!

Kamakura Buddha in snow

Taught Julius Caesar in Reno
I am Cinna the poet! Cinna the poet!
