October 4, 2021



Upon hearing his intention (a fish story)

Perhaps you might try fishing today

And take your brother with you.

Or at least think of him as you cast away

cares of media deluge. True, 

it would be more fun to have him

with you calculating trajectory

beneath the October sky on a whim,

but sometimes it is enough mental rocketry

just to hold him in memory's orbit  (like the combination

Michelin man/mickey mouse 

once positioned in its dashboard station)

and turn it in your mind's hand and arouse

your reeling sense of humor's wing

upon hearing his intention not to catch a thing.
