Oh, for the fingers,
green, green, green,
of youthful carefreeness
that planted and then nurtured
the deeds of a lifetime
without an itsy-bitsy thought
for the eventual harvest.

On the move the gardens change;
too bad what’s left behind
until roosters come back home again
and perch lofty in admonishment
of what was left undone.

Such the times of listening
that from a rooster’s screech
no, “Hark, the herald angels sing”
but, “Ha-ha-ha!  Unrequited love!”
to the blast, re-blast, of punk rock
because I forgot to love
until I’d traveled some!
