Imagine The Craziness
Imagine the craziness
Carrying on a conversation
With two people hard of hearing,
Realizing they weren’t responding
to
My I beg your pardons and were
Simply adding to what they
Had already said,
Answering their own questions,
Nodding their heads yes and no,
From flowers and double mouthed
Politicians to rain drops and
arthritis,
The thought of sets of tulips
And wonderful women brought
Me to you and I softly started
speaking,
About how some of your shots
Hinted of intimate exposure
That only your lover of the time
Would know the true disclosure,
How modern Ithaca was about to
Cap another virgin of the ancient
symbol,
We smiled, we talked, we laughed
And before we knew it the mugs
Of hot coffee were cold and not
empty,
As they wobbled away on walkers
With wheels both saying what
A nice man to talk to,
I wondered did you feel the hugs
That were real pull your breasts
close
To a beating imagination.
