any more questions?
by Charlie Morganexpecting the day to darken, any minute now;
i whittle on the Court House restroom steps,
restrooms with signs reading: WHITE ONLY.
14 and Diana had different stars behind her;
and a wonderworks of aqueous humor in her eyes,
deep blue that fanned-out. Biology was paying-off.
USSR or China were the Soothsayers in our Propaganda.
as the days of yore and Robin Hood filled me and dreams,
still i had tomorrow to get to safely and successfully.
i hate and love on days of the week that end in Y;
the scenery is rolling by on a kinetoscope, full of roses;
i'm rounding the sloped ascent, leaning in for safety.
i tag this one and move on; no longer foolishy pondering
a yesterday's couldas and all tomorrow's what-ifs.
i now use Lego blocks for my castles. started a bridge to the Moon
