September 1986

Focus

(Andy McIntyre – November 20, 1986)

We are as stones on the shores of

Eternity

Weathered by the seas of

Life

Only to disappear into the sands of

Time

The preceding was given to me

in response to the following.

Andy

two flamingos out in the front yard

with sunglasses and an umbrella

standing around on spindly legs

while cockatiels inside laugh

who knows what others lurk about

where such exotics play

birdman friend it’s good to see

your prison has been flown

no care; why worry

the past is all but gone

this moment now is one for life

and after that the next

To a wild and crazy friend,

and terrific photog!  After

seeing two of Corning’s

mascots, carousing in his yard,

with sunglasses and umbrellas.
