Back then
Back in the Good old days
Gas was a dollar a gallon
Give me one more day please
one more day to embrace fantasy.
To Infest myself with the Joy that does liberate
Give me The Blues Brothers taking a risk
or some phantom Poltergeist
whose only wish is to quench his wish for the past.
Or Dear God Bring Back Johnny and Esther,
MY Generations a Star is Born
The Crazy Charismatic , he who was , perhaps in his own eyes a god
Charming a sweet and simple Girl, and proved himself to her, yes a god,
and making a somebody out of a nobody.
For to him, yes she was somebody.
and flying away when he had given her wings,
and knew she could then fly,
and with one more look at her Johnny Boy at the End
of the show, she could carry on
for she had found her greatest strength.
OR,
(And I have said this Before, many times.)
Christ and Magdalene,
One would die, one would live,
which one their life to give?
Who is perfect in the others eyes?
who for the other give their life and die?
Each of these beautiful fantasies a cherished and treasured intimate duet
along with many others.
For To break a heart is the easy thing to do,
to mend a broken heart takes far more time, and far more effort,
But Alas, this is 2008, with gas prices stateside at 4 dollars a gallon
and no relief in sight from those powers that be,
(and mind you , they are far higher prices for gas in Belfast, I did the math
and the conversions)
and the University of Iowa at Cedar Rapids literally submerged,
I am left as Peter O Toole as Tiberius to utter these words
'Don Taunt me, i am old'
Yet with my new orange preferences, Perhaps I am getting older as I am getting better.
Perhaps as a Painted Murals in Rome do?
Perhaps so. For with a little help from my friends, I soar to the heights of Heaven.
AND, when i see my friends and loved ones gone before me in Heaven
the land of Eternal Bliss with no fence,
and once again when the family has Gathered here
as a foreshadowing there of,
such will be Glory as the Good old Days Before
in Freeverse face foremat
