upon Nguyen Ngoc Loans Knee

to be just three, bounced upon knee
this man owns a grocery store
peace, liberty we set up for he
living the life, cost of the coasts
stood under redwood lived live oak
summertime visits with man of the cloak
these hours of found catching the sites

Norodom Sihanouk himself on the run
came to a field borrowing guns
but no good despot designee  
chased by red faced rouge
brought them along while
exchanging said goods, frights and flight
continues drop ins of swelter

cold wars found me barely but breathing
all points encompass shining seas
each house so different in-between
inspector of missiles which
"they" two the same
change of credentials
as I sat back in play

to learn of him languages, thoughts
of the doubt, reasoning's and seasonings
spread the years all throughout
every time or two all different view
walks through the malls
shadowing calls, while the walk
just wanted spent, back here at home
hanging my hat, reading of Rome
tarry was the way, these unwanted sabbaticals
yet I've stood in, on, and beside works of art
AWE for ME

places You bounce
from knee to wherein, feels free
where fates landed, brought you to be
mind food proper bodied ponder or not
escapes, my thoughts, wear or whens
shelter and health, good that is felt
we the country owed loan shelter
bad man or good he had a smile for me
took me in his arms,
bounced me on knee
