for Mike and Jacqueline
As the engine of life
ripples across its stones
friends share a meal
and conversation
a blue jay flies by
and disrupts my thoughts
about last night's dinner
This is typical.
I try to honor something
so simple as an evening
meal with friends
from Colorado
and a colorful bird
takes me through time
to now
and what I wanted this morning
was to write a special honor
for a visit
only to be interrupted
by the spreading blue and white
wings of a dinosaur
yes, we believe in evolution here
we believed in evolution last night
damn us liberals anyway
