Iām lost. Inside a conversation With a ghost, Who keeps a case of beer, On my back porch, Year round.
I struggle. With his take, On things. At best, he says, you perish in a fury, His mouth a fresh full fill, Raw oysters topped on spice baked kelp.
I wait. To hear the worst. His pause is theatre 101, All fog and drama, Ephemeral guest, Sweet mist and ****.
I lean. Against our red rose sun, The window warm from spring to fall, My back porch home a hobby now, The worst he says, in adagio, Is drudgery, no end at all.
What prevents all of us from starting over, running the world in a completely different way, experimenting with new choices. Lennon's Imagine as our anthem. Dead too soon by the dark hands.
