By Charlene Baldridge
Where do I start, Mrs. Regenhart?
There was a full moon, you see,
And dreams flew in my window
Just like Pancho said they would.
At dawn I was discontent with reality,
Eschewed kneeling in the loam;
I know, failed to weed as I should;
but the world is too much
these days for one my age.
You and I both know that is an excuse.
