Tropical storm gone
Angry Atlantic Ocean
Snatching my surfboard
Tropical storm gone
Angry Atlantic Ocean
Snatching my surfboard
Bought old pickup truck
Hitch up house on wheels
Let’s see America
Stack of unread books
Winter storm lighting fireplace
Cozy bookworm
Drinking hot chocolate
Watching snow fall on rock garden
No rush to leave
Heliconia
Queen of tropical garden
Hummingbird’s best friend
Put it on the bain marie
May not eat for another century
Spent winter in Romania
Hung out with vampires from Transylvania
Full blood transfusions made me live forever
But much crazier
Worked my way over to India
Met a snake charmer who was even zanier
He gave me a worn copy of the Tao Te Ching
Went home to Miami
Every day for one month
Sitting on the beach
Reading all 81 chapters of writing by Lao Tzu
No more luxuries for me
Decided to pawn off all of my bling
To this day for no reason
When drinking coconut water
Start to sing
The Star Spangled Banner
Oh say can you see
Numerous shrinks unable to help me
Bought old wood sailboat
Went off to sea
Made landfall here in Tahiti
Really enjoy your company
Please pour me some more tea
Engulfed by his books
The Hermit scribbles his poems
Before it’s too late
The room is empty
No one is left to talk to
I turn off my mind
