The art of Conversation =
a source of emancipation,
oral gratification per integration
of knowledge
manifesting opportunity qua
sharing unconscious workings
Vis a Vis windows to the soul
whereby quickened pace arises
to latch onto this role
i.e. as a conversant fellow,
who at LVII years old does poll
fleeting decades of existence
manning reminiscence
flashing back to days of childhood's end -
When last verse of noel
will be writ when father time
dost take me underground akin to a mole
or perhaps cremation will deliver
mine ashes along a rib-rocked knoll
of this garden variety hominid -
whose mindfulness endowed
introspection aware biological ticker tape
eventually accelerates fated brake upon life
takes me infinitely far from madding crowd
whereby cosmic consciousness reigns supreme
lording eminence grise
of beetle browed chap.
------------------------------------------------
hoop fully countless decades still abound
to relish what would be legally allowed
reaching out to family
since no value found
nor piles of money buys
against futility
whence destiny de cries
the rapid stealth of living,
yet before my demise
this sensate being,
with these ears and eyes
reckons he cannot halt
like greased lightening
how tempus fugit flies
tempted to whisk me away
while mortality donned in get up
as incognito guise
whence a half-century prior
to kill a mockingbird
go set a watchman
deigned as main entree,
now i got a bone to pick no sup pries
additional longevity
to stave grim reaper
before permanent slumber doth ah rise!
