A Point Of View
by Dick Brugger
Banged-in fenders are someone’s concern
Not me. For the moment I’m dent free
and to my knowledge don’t owe a dime.
Have some money in the bank. Freedom
to go to Puyallup or Cincinnati, wander along
Soos Creek, stay home, rob the refrigerator,
do the Times crossword puzzle.
Have oodles to worry about should I work at it.
Could enter into a frenzy thinking about the
endless possibilities of fatality, ponder
the world debt or the flux of the market,
fuss with my lawn, calculate disaster
or plaster myself with molasses which we had
hoped to use to make bread
should I think of it.
Dick, you have such a natural way with words. I should think of it . . . but you do - thank you.
