Im going to find a pink marble palazzo
and fill it with ancient ferns my
secret mosses the milky quartz
from Arkansas.
inner gardens courtyards
for the mockingbirds
for Telstar going over my Grandfather
and breakfasts at dawn
with Orange Tang.
and Silly Symphony cartoons.
what taste the new neighbor has
perhaps they'll sniff
the titled in the vicinity
what do I care for the air like wine
cherishing my library of Nancy Drew and
the Great Books
about the looks they gave me on the way to St. Marks.
I will be there
dressed in pink lace
slightly mindful of the snarks and
ready for the day
having things my way
sea creature emerging
from a roseate shell
God and I shall get along there.
very well.
