all the stories I've read
are swirled in my mind

kaliedescopic
patterns, weave and go

today
rowing in the living room

i thought of scratches on her majesty's royal hull
abandoned houses
letters lost and letters sent
ferry rides to Greek isles
sunsets suddenly appreciated
salmon and sweet potatoes with maple syrup
daughter and fairy(not) tales
epidemics
prison jive
James Dean


and sailors talking Bob Dylan below decks
a moment of calm in world of hurt


and just then
Blowin' in the Wind
shuffled on

I thought
hell yes
the answer my friends
stories
like dandelion seeds
blowin in the wind
