bouncing me
round his shoulders
or Grandma's apron
a mitt to catch me
running away from some boogie man!
In those days Johnny pumps ran wild

picnic escapes to Bear Mountain country
leaving New York city behind

In '65 Ma brought my wish home
in her bundle of joy

Effervescent;

Your bloom spurs us
and fritters away gloom;
stroke of you broad ardor.
Here's to you!
Your glass of laughter
always raised full of cheer!

gnawed at by stark
egoic, "ME!" absurdities
tightening

Thinning houses;
"ME" mites hollowing our clay to hull
in the face of that third eye.
How much more then, "Enough!"
said well
