a reproduction
by Charlie Morganretiring is leaving me with no time.
my "gotta do" list looks like My Bucket List.
pulling those errant weeds from cracks,
seems as important as taking a skinny-dip;
or going to Europe. or Asia. or the Islands.
then all becomes a cumulus cloud, moving
as i hear short footsteps slapping my drive;
'papaw, papaw! look my new Airbender!
from McDonalwalls. Miss Norma did it.'
i bend down pick up my next generation of me;
i notice i make better copies than the original. 07/06/2010 Posted on 07/06/2010
