Tuesday morning, October 6th

His head is spinning with the theory

Between each gig; all is lost.

A gaping hole of anxious self-pity

A drain where once a reservoir stood



His life is measured in monthly cycles

Of moon and Mr. J.P. Morgan

Where once he toiled to change the oceans

Now he moves to follow the flood



It rains with fury this dark Tuesday morning

He works alone in his cosmic man cave

Seattle glassworks mildly smolder in the tray

Francis Francis stays red, hot and brewing

"Where once he toiled to change the oceans/Now he moves to follow the flood."

Great line.

Thanks NP, I like it myself. Maybe it is the 'significant' birthday I have coming up, or the zeitgeist of the times, but there seems to be a sea change a coming.

TB -- Appreciate the visit. Feel free to contribute some of your own work.
