Union

There is a sky-blue sky

With silver framed white clouds

The waiter’s uniforms

Are trimmed with turquoise brocade


Such are the welcomes of lascivious thoughts

As encouraged by the so so skimpy bikinis

Obsessed, as I have become

By the need to be more than overtly sexist


Not though caused by my looseness

As brought on by the Mediterranean vacation

But rather as a defiant response, to the slap-

Down email, from the Arvon course director


Of course no names are mentioned

No specifics given

Of the aforementioned complaint

A masterclass in denial, or deception


There is a sky-blue sky

White clouds heading for the heavens

Yet it is movement without movement

As it is music without music


I don’t expect Satie’s GymnopĂ©dies

Are too too popular here in Sensatori

Neither Clare de Lune either

Not so so early in the day


The blue sky becomes more blue

As the excitement grows

Before the bride-to-be appears

In white veil, tattoos, painted toenails
