Bittersweet

BITTERSWEET

How bittersweet it must be

Seven years ago for me OH!

sucked through the worm borrow

Enjoying Mai Tai with the Nguyens

beach…waves come crashing in

tsunami…I go, no mas incarnate. 

two calendars later here I am free

tutelege for 5 ain’t no jive

HOW Bittersweet it is

watching big brother; the whiz

says it’s college; for knowledge

I know the truth; he burns

Even a pant; also yearns

strange looks; with a start

only 5; how art?

So wise; watching eldest

Already; hearing Elvis

Meanings; so clear

Yesterday; I hear

HOW BITTERsweet it must be

nest is now free

empty yes, not yet me

the kid and not neat

bah bah and a bleat

16 years gone, celebrating 21

With a boom and a drink

down a 6 pack no sink

HOW? Bittersweet? It is - SMH - MUST BE

Nest is all free

Everyone older; I EVEN TOLD HER

Window sill all clear

of whip cream and pie

now just to pay taxes and live

holidays to give

Fledglings don’t even bang a head on the jam

a dip en flight under the archway I am

Sister and I; we’ll be home for pie; no lie; seriously now; warm the oven

with all the lovin

Chris Martin says the music, the original, is the best song ever written. Overstated, I think, but the music is good. 🙏😬🎶
