A Small Family Reunion (As That Is All That Remain)
I sit here in my room in
This town, my adopted home,
And realize to the north lay
Responsibility and all that
Other adult stuff whilst to my
South, I can hear it on a stormy day,
Is the sea that I occasionally
Dream of riding a dingy to
Freedom over towards the wonders
Of beautiful France and a
Glorious family reunion.
Newly Normal Kinda Saturday
Another Saturday comes around as slowly
Life returns to some kind of new normal, a
Time when we hope the death of loved ones as
Well as forgotten ones becomes a rare &
Tragic occurrence, as today I sit here with
My radio keeping me updated on all things
Football and the words tumbling from my
Fingers onto this page as with ten minutes to
Kick-off the triumphant roar is yet to come
Screaming from within & right now, beyond
A bit of herb, and the idea of some biscuits &
Tea there ain't much else to do on this, a newly
Normal kinda Saturday . . .
