November 2024 Collage Poem: Chasing Dreams
Lined up to respect the harder life
A jackass of fools in a tangled steel suitcase
A SHAKING SHIFT OF FURNITURE
He is the pied piper of our times
Who knows how to play the odds
The Pied Piper carries the dreams of his followers
under maples flashing and slashing in an autumn that seems dead.
To dream in the hope the winter will be a subdued epoch
of darkness before the light.
Perpetual contentment, a cargo of pride and joy
under an egg-white sun
All because she said our Family never travels far.
