the life and times of jigme sherpa
o loveydovey buoy
from naypaul
buoy-mah'n with beehive'd hair
question mark calves
dense dancing eyes
sneezestretchstomp
in the early morn'g sun
atop the mossgreen roof
revolving at 29.8 kms/sec
smo'ke your chillum
ruminate with your
rheumy eyes
drifting off
farther
and
further
until limbo
hits the soft
white spot
tangles
tingles
turns
the
wu'rld
haphazard
jigme sherpa
o lost tribesmah'n
fro'hm the wu'rld unknown
take y'r hobner 265
pick y'r chords/pluck y'r strings
sing of kathmand'u and peace
cover mr big
croon marley
wanderaround
wonderabout
placespeople
banah'na pa'ncakes
choc'late syrup
long dista'nce calls
cheap beer and
a few joints
sigh
jigme sherpa
the travelin' chris'mas tree
with dysfunctional lights
dustbrown leaves
and rank smell of
a past forgott'n
light up the night sky
console the lone
live and then
you
die

...wow.
I am struck. Where can I meet this lovely bouy from naypaul, with beehive'd hair and question mark calves?
Question mark calves. God I love that.
I love this. So much, yes, so much.
I could hear this story spoken not off the paper but through the lips of a character from the story. Once again, I must praise you on your ability to mold and shape a simple (not so simple?) piece of poetry into a breathing, pulsing masterpiece. True talent.
Always the best. Thank you.
