This poem was created at a poetry reading at Laurel Arts in Somerset on August 1, 2009.

Each member of the audience had to write down 2 words on a index card, and I created a poem, which  I performed.  Thanks to our guests.
 
I want to be Barbara
Or
The and the and the and the and the and we poem

In the sunset evening
With your mulberry colored hair,
You said Eddie is the best musician.
He sings like atomic chocolate
Like a powerful hippo
Like a free spirited bird.
I say he has low self-esteem, an elevated pancreas and needs
a parapsychologist
or a fishing hook
or a tampon.
You said you wanted to run in the jungle.
You wanted a door to the Milky Way or Orion’s Belt.
I thought you were adorable
A real character
A second coming of the messiah.
