busy days

 busy days


what waits

for the child at the garden gate

what opens his day his way

with his best friend adventure

who knows the way the day will go

will cut up his knees and smudge his horizons

what decides the speed of the wings on their heels

what went before that their chase follows

the ways that naughty was mightily theirs

until the sun went down and so much more

the story goes over dinner as the stars come out

winking at their secret 

even now dare not tell

for their debt to the retribution bank is

compounded in the interest of tomorrow’s sun

in their overdraft of naughtiness

lay it down my son

for you’ve had a busy day

and i am almost 80
