Doctor, to avoid
this street crack monster,

I walk around

a different block

 

But the nightmares

happen at sunrise

and sunset

Now That Marajuana Is Legal In New York ... All I Can Say Is ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

To any New Yorkers 

whoever encountered

problems with retail clerks

before the legalization

***

As a resident 

in a state 

with  thoroughly legal pot,

all I can say is 

You aint seen nothing yet

 

But their smiles

will be infinitely superior

to pre-legalization

Words of wisdom

sillyables of alliteration 

wander whimsically

in  Wordland

Chapter 1

I am an early riser

and early to sleep

 

I grab sunrise

by the throat

by dawn

I am a pile of dust

they call it

an age thing

but what if you 

did the same thing

for fifty years?

 

 I stampeded the ages

created these pages

and drink a lot of milk

but she served the milk

with vienna fingers,

oreos or mallomars

always at three,

knock-kneed in the nook 

and then off to the land

of  queen for a day

always...

but that was more than 

fifty years ago

now

the milk gets guzzled

out of the gallon

jug

 

and Mrs. Me

is cheerless about

no cheerios

when their flotation devices

were godzilla'd by

the milk whore

 

shake shake shake

 

***

Chapter 2

 

The doctor said

something about millimeters

that is how close

I came to dying

"Absolutely no sweets"

if, of course,

I wanted not to cross

the millimeter fence

no mallomars, no kit kats,

no dice

because the doctor's middle name

was Jesus

and you can't defy your savior

but vienna fingers

dipped in starbucks house coffee

is not a sweet

it is a projection

of the java

and guaranteed

to not get my gut

***

Chapter 3

 

I did my share

in the covidsphere

 

residing in a covid nation,

i got my double vaccination

 

now some fears

can take a long vacation

 

covid created

for the aged,

a brand "new" scene

but they naturally knew

all about quarantine

 

what we said

to the young bud

and young bub

"Welcome to the club"

 

about the aged,

covid caused no fuss

if it became the death of us

 

if it took away

our last breath,

we get to die

a DESIGNER DEATH

Analogous To What I Said About A Great Day In Harlem

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

There is not now

nor will there be

a public park

that is more

deeply imbedded

in my memory

or more important

to my life

 than 

Whitestone Park 

The website refers to this

as the "Frances Lewis Park"

 

The signatory of

the Declaration of Independence

owned the property

more than 

two hundred years ago

but we knew it as 

WHITESTONE PARK

with the 

Whitestone Bridge

linking Long Island

to the continent

in the background

 

A future page

will list ten reasons

why the park

is so important to me

 

But I will list one reason below

solely because

I just lit #142857:

 

I smoked my first cigaret

in Whitestone Park

(September, 1961)

and

I would like 

to refer to

the suspension

over the East River as

"the non-collapsible Whitestone Bridge"

In 1979,

I did not expect

to become a teacher

 

Otherwise, the slightly tilted story

contained in this newsletter

would have been re-written

 

It was recited

at a  Long Island Pub

and then waylaid

for forty years

One Of The Most Important Reasons For Co-mingling

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Women need men

in order to have

someone to blame

for everything

that goes wrong

and to occasionally

appreciate

when everything else

goes right

BUT

Mr. Vice and Ms. Versa

can dance a dazzling duet

with these words
