One for the poets & poetry lovers

My Uncle Gair blogs too - his is The New Mexico Poet's Corner. One of my fav's of his is there:

Who I Am

I don’t carry a briefcase

I don’t get off the train every night at five-thirty

I don’t have adoring or rotten kids waiting for me

I don’t have a sexy
nagging
or servile wife either

What do I have?

All I have is this

About once every ten thousand years or so
A real goddess of love will grant me refuge in her temple

I will sing songs
fix her swamp cooler and roll on the floor with her dogs
I will sip wine and chop potatoes

She will create a stew more piquant than might any man’s legal wedded doxy

Crickets will sing and stars will shine in through her screen door
