POEM #28- BYGONES


"Round and Round"

Can you see me 
there on the left
in the white sailor cap?

I'm just back
from traveling the globe
on a navy frigate

Why would I care
about watching
three cars go round 
a miniscule 
dirt track

when I have moved in
much bigger circles?

  1. Yes, I suppose the racetrack would seem quite trivial to a WWII vet.
    Or maybe a place to go and forget.

  2. I'm not convinced
    anymore
    that we saw
    what we think we saw,
    when all I can remember is
    the blur of the moment, and
    you spilling soda on my pants
    in a moment of victory.
