i wonder if you are allowed to leave
to go and interview, report back all
that is seen from the sea to the men
who search for those that came before and came after: i can picture the chaos
that ensues even now and how academics simultaneously hides and relishes
such tragedies: as i wrapped up my law
degree the storm that hit was a heavy
topic for the insurance attorney turned
professor: the costs, the loss, the benefits
i paid little heed, kept my nose down but
donated my lexis points & thought myself
good - man across the sea if you go across
to those islands to interview those that need
remind them that everywhere there are daisies,
like my daughter, filling shoe boxes for Christmas gifts
