the day of the descendant
I’ve studied and analyzed
so many
who have come before me
reconstructing their lives through
research and poetry
As I lay here daydreaming
(perhaps dying)
motionless (projecting translucence)
I bid adieu to friends and foes
by clicking my heels
and tipping my old gray hat
spiritedly introducing to the world
those we’ve yet to know
february two thousand sixteen

Oh I hope you will not bid adieu…
Well, if I have anything to say about it I plan to stay as long as possible!
That’s an interesting way to learn about people – through their poetry. 🙂
I certainly agree. Thanks for visiting here….
