A   L   O   H   A !
in blog posts
of the present 
and the past;
Recollections of that 
Long ago
Black & white groove
Daddy - O.
 
So bright and
Enthralling,
Towers rising
Hypocrisies falling; 
Strong men look tired
Democracy's calling.
Timbuktu
Can get it right
As Churchill was:
"The worst form of 
Government except
for all the others."
Your children may rise
if we should only be
so wise
to leave them simple
Air to breathe -
Don't leave.
Just go
In the other room
For a while
Till it's time to smile.
Though it's always time
For smiles
With you
And Me
Whatever else passes
Or comes to be.
To linger a long long while;
Soaking in the present's
Juices -
Not drying out
But open sluices.
Flow to the sea.
Flow river flow
O river of me
Purling past rocks
Held stagnant in locks.
Now I push boulders around.
Deep strong currents 
Meaningful circus
On our way
To the 
Sea.
