WIND UP JANE

WIND  UP  JANE                    *(overheard in member’s lounge A.G.O.)

She couldn’t refrain from

giving a tour

Even if nobody

wanted

one

 

She was energetic

and could

do it

in Mandarin

too

 

She remembered

my name

because it was

the same

(said the other Jane)

 

But now I look in vain

for  Wind Up Jane

who was

finally given the  boot

 

Might I ask the remaining

Jane

to use her

Indoor Voice

 

Please

 

Especially when skewering fellow guides

 

Too late –

She’s just dashed off

to the

St. Lawrence Market

Barking:

We are a Team

That’s what makes it

so special!

WHO BY HIGH ORDEAL

WHO  BY  HIGH      ORDEAL

I read today that the

Dalai Lama spends

5 hrs each day

meditating on     impermanence

 

I guess that I do

the same

Most days riddled

with anxiety:

Will a car take that corner too fast?

Can all of this possibly last?

 

Or must I lose

every single

Goddamned

one of you?

 

Being in the moment

is not always

what it’s

cracked up   to be

Mr. Lama
