The Difference

See

Close up

See

Far away

See

All the flaws

The brushstrokes

See

How it glistens

The composite whole

Enter the storyteller

All turquoise & jewels

Towing a casket

And a cast of a thousand children

Hist

Words in Amsterdam

Far and away from Zen

This land of smoke and mirrors

Houses that stand, or lean

Front to back, side to side

Five, six, seven storeys high

There goes another tram

Judaism crossed by when

In this hall of talk and jitters

Tales that demand, or mean:

Leave some slack, take a ride

Thrive, fix, why heavens nearby

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Vittles

Less clear

The beer

In the restaurant

No fear

We have taken

Our photographs already

On Landing

Is there phlegm when you cough

The doctor asked

Are there bicycles in Amsterdam

I should have said

Is the warm head

Another sign of my illness

Or do the busy places

Always burn so brightly

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Let Vacation Begin

Talk is of snowboards

“Skateboards without wheels”

Offers the grey haired older man

Father of the middle aged son

Who is doing most of the talking

Utah apparently is a good place

I therefore presume that these folks

Are related to the founding fathers

Descendants of those Boston pilgrims

Why else to be in Humberside Airport
