I’m seventy. Don and I met twenty three years ago.
I used to joke about the mix, but now I take it seriously…stone sober.
The Unlikely Pair
Don hides out
And surfs on line.
Digital man
Skimming circuits.
HTML
Data man.
I perform
With music
Song
And poetry
In technicolor.
He locks on to
Symbols
Math
And video;
Wrings it out
For pleasure.
I hum
And swing
Gyrate
And grin
To the rhythm.
We’re a pair:
One grounded
One airborne;
One plugged in
One tethered.
Together
We explore.
Adventure.
Envision.
And take care.
It’s energy we share.
An unlikely pair!
