How I wish I had a chair,
The walls so gloomy, staLined and bare,
...
As I stumble into darkness
Death has lost its empty starkness,
Just a little dopamine
Has given back its Hippie dreams;
...
Yes, yes, I remember you,
Though not your name,
How do you do.
Me, I'm doing very well,
...
This year I knew no Spring
Having fallen in love in mid-Winter
And before the January thaw
My heart was broken
...
How hard your eyes
How harsh your voice
So bitter young
So little choice;
...
I watch my Mentor weep
His hooded eyes fight the urge to sleep;
And yet they question him
To make him speak;
...
Like a nervous rhesus macaque,
You edge forward and then move back;
You nod and then you hesitate
You hoot and signal me to wait;
...
She's an interesting wonder
With her hair of long harvest yellow
And her white Madonna face,
Dimple dumpling chin and full white cheeks;
...
Like two Apostles
We strode the road,
The high mountain path,
And as we strode
...
