Even my best insights
Essentially ignored

Sometimes I write for wisdom
Sometimes because I'm bored

Taiwan was exciting
Thailand was as well

Cambodia was frightening
Nixon's bombs were Hell

Japan: a world of wonder
Hong Kong in the harbor

Golden helmet of Mombrino
A soldier not a barber

My traveling days seem over
Now I only walk

But I have memory stories
You should hear me talk

My youngest son still plays
With bluegreen sidewalk chalk
