Memories of Dad and the ranch on Father’s Day.
Ball Lightning
Tulsa, OK 6/20/20
On the longest day of the longest year
The circus
and the gun show are in town
and the masked and unmasked mingle
While the old monk clinging
to weakening branch on cliff
above the hungry covid lion
picks and eats the ripe strawberry
So sweet
Juneteenth
Another good day for listening and learning.

The French Open is closed
They have thrown in the towel
It is a très nice towel
though never to be blessed
by Rafi sweat or Roger cool
