So kind, polite, so very thoughtful

stopping to let the side car in,

failing to check the rearview mirror

for how many cars she's delaying.

Tired ?

I go to the gym although lethargic

'cause afterwards fatigue's electric.

As I get older and older

I seem to care less and less

about ever more and more.

Of course we're all fed up with winter -

even the clouds are heading south.

           Escort

           --------

Not embarrassed, not ashamed,

standing naked, beautiful.

Knowing they're out of reach though entrancing

I gaze at youth and beauty dancing.

Still I also know when push comes to shove

I can always buy sex. But where to buy love ?

Overland camping group

The semi-circle of camping chairs

focusses on the cooking food

(more tuna and stir fry cabbages)

but also keeps attention glued

on the group itself and avoids the stares

of the gathering local 'savages'.

Like a circle of covered wagons from

the wild west of the USA

the defensive wall keeps the enemy out

and allows us not to give away

food we don't want or lose aplomb

if someone challenges with a shout.

Our culture encourages selfishness

and makes us inhospitable.

Perhaps if we faced outwards instead

we'd find the poor more pitiable

and see spoiled self-indulgence less

important than them being better fed.
