GOOD OLD CEMENT
We’ll shoot the breeze and pine for home we’ll beat our chests, hearts throb with pain we’ll permeate these foreign parts and then - we’ll do it all again We’ll breathe mind’s air, tingling of “there” we’ll hale old memories from deep glass we’ll axe the present, shed sweet tears and glorify some ancient past Our flow, it’s one of “Good Old Days” and yet, how was it that we went ? Perhaps small death when we “escaped” what wasn’t faced, set in cement ? Alan McAlpine Douglas Challenge words : breeze pine beat throb permeate breathe tingling hale axe flow ·······  ······· |
