i

with a banjo
one can go
through all emotion
deep dark ocean
blue heights-
happy bird in
flight!

not that i did
i resented it-
three weeks with
back bent
blistered hand
chips and the skegness sun
no-fun..

ii

then why buy it..?
lily turns a page-
what is she reading?
ah,kerouac´s on the road..

spontaneous and hopeful
chock full of possibility
spiritual so-!
not unlike the banjo

but alas not for me
ended in a dusty window
for some paltry sum
and a full belly..
