about now Jimmy Buffet is sipping his third margarita,
probably on one knee, wondering how forever feels.

i just left an area of forever: it was ignororance.
so refreshing, so uplifting, so spiritual.

they closed their mouths, kept the flies out;
listened, nodded, essentially paid attention.

i ran down immediately to see the street signs
to see if i'm in the right town, right time.
sure enough, i was where i thought, it was
just different as we all drank the subject.

i finally had to announce the difference:
we were a college class that made sense
to those without ears, and could be seen
by those without eyes; moments not wasted.
