Piccadilly Dreaming Away From Shore
Ice cream,
slow time,
colors are vivid.
Music makes the feet move,
times are good,
and people are in love with life.
They all watch mundane things
with great gusto-
clouds:
high and wispy,
slender vapor,
a sky full of ships
and waves
flowers:
full of kaleidoscopic,
vibrant color,
swirling soft petals,
boat propellors above the sea
Brown rice:
nutty flavored part of a seafarer’s diet,
chewy on the tongue
with that periodic crunch,
a dollop of honey atop
hats:
perched on heads as pirate scarves,
hat bands and feather accessorizing,
brims overhanging
the beautiful faces of the romantics
tea:
strongly brewed,
poured into patterned teacups,
quixotic ideas drunk in
not unlike a sailor’s rum
Idealists with
big thoughts,
breaking chains,
piccadilly dreamers floating upon the new ark.
