(a list poem, non-sequential, over 5 decades)

TastyKakes and stray kittens
Cuddling Bunny Boy
Cece beans and meatballs
Grandmom Gentile’s lap
Learning to crochet

Tea with a drop of whiskey
Tomatoes and purple pansies
6th and Fitzwater
Grandmom Pitts’ turkey
Milk shakes at Schwartzies

Gray sky and rowhouses
New Jersey malls
The back seat escape
Disco balls and stingers
Down the shore

Twilight and whistling winds
Irish actors, English sailors
Tequila night at the Opus
Rock stars and poets
William Butler Yeats

Thunder
Alto sopranos
Rhythm and blues
Sonny and Cher
Prince and Aretha

Earth, Wind, and Fire
Prometheus
Cezanne and the Bathers
Yin and yang
Rosey and Rufus

North Beach and Bloomsbury
Point Reyes seashore
The East Village
Cape May Point
The Delaware, the Schuylkill, the Wissahickon

Dark bars and dog parks.
