Words cross-culture intellectual play
Is American way of life turning soil to decay?
Where are all the vivid eagles?
Where does the osprey dive?
Hush golden thrush, demons drool
Traffic screaming graveyard profanity
Nobility cries fearing Nazi rule
Friends split their final episode
Murmuring lost fruits gambling sugar
For low fat adaptation to stucco
High on the rocks we flee to Vancouver
Will our moments flicker out?
Beyond a safe zone of FAQ’s
Can flutes curve split seconds?
Can we be seen stepping upward?
With hope dancing above our heads
Where a treasury of skulls can be found
Among Egyptian tombs

Playing Capricorn games, wearing masks
Like Halloween at a cocktail party
Where some woman is the king of dreams
Lions create a paperback infernal
Helping man walk through a maze
Am I that Valley beyond?
Thank God for Penicillin
Cosmic engineers grow rings around the sun
Judas returns from Heaven
What a broken sword he was?
Yet his purpose made tomorrow closer
While we’re fighting the Middle East
The other side if Ireland dreams
Green Ireland sends out radio signals
About autonomous navigation
Who’ll soon write science fiction!
Telling of teeth angels grew
And storms
Howling like dogs
Earth Magic learning kung-fu
Magnifies luminary in clouds
Where the mist of all seas collect
A world of difference is born to exile
Soon to be a grave of bones
While Jesus and I break a wishbone
For a high speed undersea railway
While massive floats move the UK
I wonder what stories James Michener would write today?

That was a rollercoaster and I couldn't stop. Didn't want to. I can't even remember all of the topics you touched. It was a whisker.

Sincerely,
