In Temple Terrace

the electricity is off
so I must make this quick
before my lap-
top losses power

My power over my own life
is diminishing to a point 
I find easy to handle

Living in Dr. Hue’s condo
while he lectures in Taiwan
is a godsend

He breaks all the rule’s 
of the Homeower’s Ass.
…has a vegetable garden
& a clothes line in the sideyard

This evening I see
sunset over Alligator Lake,
take my shirts off 
the line and listen
to the tomatoes
sing Let It Be

Tonight the dark will be Dark
