jet

rose colored optimist in your bright and breezy spirits
playing ardent admirations in the joyful penny chorus
holding on endearingly to the steering wheel of our honda
with the wings of love,
with the science of comfort:
skyrocket dreamer who has made this life mean more.

the sincerity sinner is rushed to his dinner and we overlook
a lifelong since abandoned,
left to the birds of
pretext,
pretentiousness,
and petty prevarication plunder.

we are safe,
thanks to you,
and your large
inheritance from Aunt Ruthie.

— zumwalt (circa 1975-1983?)
