I asked if they emerged from the Abyss
He said no, they did not
Drove all the way from Bangkok
To see the temples at Angkor Wat

Coached a little basketball
Taught Old Man and the Sea
Ate a little street food
In Thailand, Land of the Free

Visited Mark Twain's house
One game at Wrigley Field
New Year's Eve in Hong Kong
The hidden and revealed

She walks the grass in a pink gown
Such a winning smile!
California snow
My Santa Rosa child

                 Eriugena
            Not Oscar Wilde
