I wonder, just a thought
Who even dreamt to
Teach a pig Latin?
And why a starfish

You had to put up with
Sunday drivers
You had to love children
All children, all of them!
This is what it took to be God

After it is over, I go out into the world to the café. The flower sellers are setting up their booth outside the glass doors. Classical guitar over the speakers. A soft rain falling. Heads are bowed there, reading the news. Coffee, croissants, cappuccin

My only brother, Herb
Meant the world to me
He taught me how to drive his Triumph TR3
He taught me that I could have sex
In the front seat of a car
With the girl sitting on my lap facing me
He played a saxophone and a clarinet
