Reluctant with the Eyes.

Passing me by

While I perform (rejoice)

Avoid all my harps

Avoid my deep Voice.

Skip everything

That smacks of a talk.

Covid did that.

So quietly they walk.

Masks are off. Good.

But wives' tales remain.

Stay apart! Don't engage.

These days only Pain

Can come from a meeting

Can come from a chat.

The NEW Righteousness is crazy

Community quite flat.

The leaders sang foolish

The media joined in.

And converse of kind sort 

Their NEW KIND OF SIN.

Bah HUMBUG.

This old singer says

He talks to the people

He uplifts.

He plays.



(Happily today in the Park, I met new friends visiting Town. Anup and Jazz. Using bicycles from the Walper Hotel. They took in what I was trying to say. They got it. Thankfully, many are getting it. Music and friendly exchanges are coming back.)

Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.
