The Meaning of Life for Me


I allowed the mountain peaks to accompany me,
Crossed the Mohave burning beneath my feet.

A herd of elephants slung mud around on one another
From the banks of an Indiana lake.

A slice of custard pie survived yet another San Francisco
Earthquake.

This morning, night lingered on past 5 AM. No alarm
Was sounded, and I slept through every

Damned thing Shakespeare had to say. Oh well, fair
Warning, my friends, tomorrow is another day.

Remind me to add dog treats to my shopping list this
Week. I’ve reached an age where I can’t trust my memory.
