Thankfully Thick

by Tracy Ellen

When do I get to be thankfully thick
Like an old woman watching classic
Cinema in her mind’s eye, lids flick
And lips grin, living well in memories
Enjoying my mind’s disease as I please
Or a child, playing sword with a stick
Running through the backwoods, so free
No troubles deep in the mind to pick
No world woes or evil foes to face
Adulthood, I’d like to erase that place.

Hee hee, fine rhythms and sense--it is that in between nonsense that makes no sense, the children and the old people rule. Really very good!
