One FOR That ROAD
The road made of billions of words
and a quarter of his memoir
meanders through the radiance and
foliage of shadows, half hour
to cover it in whole.
“Quick, pop! They are on us!”
A hullabaloo is coming behind,
tailing us. My hands are stiffening
their clasp on the grave fishing rod.  
“Here we go!” Pop screams and I have a
free and roaring laugh.
Ah, Sunday, Sunday!
A fishing trip to our regular
venture over the boundary of law.
The frustrated board proclaims in vain,
the prohibition of fishing there.

What an extraordinary complicity between father and son in this delightful poem, dear Ku!

I could hear the laughter and the Sunday joy in this.

So good to read you, Poet!

Love and hugs.

Absolutely delightful!  If I were still an English teacher, I would ask permission to use this poem to illustrate firstly original expression and then many, many other things.
