The Quest

quest

An entire lifetime
searching —
for low hanging fruit
of perfect maturity.

An entire lifetime
searching —
venturing into valleys
trudging through trails
tasting a drop or two

From distinct stinging
to distancing stinking,

Experiencing —
the familiar and the famous
From Champagne to Pinot,
with Rose and Chantal.

An entire lifetime
searching —
The Oenophile.

One Day!

We Millennials care.

While we while away

in wonder and awe

about Syrian refugees,

trump, clinton, an’ all,

writing petition letters

to desktop clerks

of political personas,

#SupportApple

Hashtag iPhone users,

Vouching for Justice, reform,

and all things revolutionary.

While sexual slaves —

somewhere round a corner —

remain deprived and uncared.

But Millennials care:

We have one day,

to “empower” women

with doodles and videos:

“One day!”

“empowered” for one day ;

womanized every other.


It’s International Women’s Day. I tried being nice and hopeful (honest!), but I couldn’t. So this.
