Quondam 1

Jo Smithey

sent an email

to Jo Jo who

didn’t get it

outside with

her yoyo

under cumulo

wondering

what’s loess,

Jo just

braids her hair

& sends another

to Abdullah,

whose road crew

raises dust

in flat wadis

nearer

Timbuktu

(‘Hey, man,

we there yet,’

‘Too soon —

but what’s that,’

‘O, a howdah,

o’er an

ice truck’)

  1. Well you’ve gotten a chane to use wadis again-kudos, as well as howdah-hows dah? I looked for thoe quote of which you spoke-found other things to test my patience which is broke since 1 am. Unless you point it out or cut and paste it I don’t care-haven’t the time-must all good intention be plagued with a sense of guilt foir not getting everything done-bah humbug! It is a far, far better thing to be done with all amulets that ward off ennui. KB PS: Just haven’t gotten the time to read your other stuff.

    1. ‘Wiki’ for the first time (since I’ve known it) went unquoted, one word only, thus: Freedom!!! (do you know who said that first?);
      I understand the difficulty, reading everyone, but I really like the chain-rattlers…
