long road traveled body

long road traveled body

my day began in hours predawn

hot coffee

set led zep free as songbird

not loud well not too loud

glass bottled mineral water

topo chico

room temp

handful of toasty cheese doodles thingies

or whatever they are called now days

blast of flavor

no honey bun or cinnamon roll

for me this morn no cer ree!

recharging invigorating

a welcomed morning pee

simple pleasure it can be

up and off out the doors

breakfast not yet but later

there are chores a plenty waiting

friends are hungry

for feeding and time with two legs

that is what i hear them calling me

two legs is coming

two legs is here

tending sitting listening to the chatter

watching the playful dance of young fowl

answering the call to dance defense

if they only knew their destination

my mouth and table share word similar

both being foul/fowl HA!

man cannot be self sufficient

self reliant si

my garden provides flavor and sustenance 

for this old long road traveled body

my table fare makes kings jealous

or it would should i share

not with them anyway

to friends and a few foes do the spoils

of this rich soil of many toils go

for free for sale for trade

it all has purpose has need

nothing wasted

nothing serving greed

life can be grand

if we let it
