An old poem reworked, a Tyburn , I wrote back in 2018.

Not
Not for want of trying, I
Have spread my wings,to learn to fly.
Not for want of doing right
I’ve raged and screamed against the night
Not only for myself
I’ve questioned the distribution of wealth .
Not for my grandchildren but also me
I tried to set the oppressed free
And scrape the plastic from the sea.
Not just on a whim

If we were having coffee , every Sunday
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
