One Day; Many Years 


Towards what do I owe this change in life?

There were nary white clouds or psychedelic waves

when I opened my eyes. I saw no lack of strife

betwixt the forward and chin-stroking knaves.

Hence the common lore shows a blinding flash

and a lighted glim that smothers one's vision.

The trumpets blare out in a golden clash.

Forsooth; I recall the day with some precision.

There was plenty of brick atop linoleum land,

the squeaking of passing sneakers.

In observance (like oceans, crashing on glebes of sand),

erelong I shall walk with the Seekers.


Of these I possessed no envy or grace

until I found myself here in their place.
