The Morning After Mayday Effects

we drink two oceans
commemorating the office of collegial graduations
& hidden associations
but we watch match point
set across the pond
labelled with the cape of good hope
round the horn of passage

how luck will have it
(& for accessorizing success --
a ring & a miss)
how will this go over
mmmmmmthe top
playing without a net
in darkest woody
africa gone south

tennis, any
mmdonjuan?
frankly, scarlett.

business base as usual
in that family way

(my mother leaves a message.
call about wedding.)
talk about your scattergun approaches!

in vino veritas.
spin the baby.
fortune favours the brave? the bold? the daring? the audacious

we got away with getting our parts
in each others' auditions
survived universal deceit

we've shaken the past &
what we've bagged has seasoned us.

carpe meum.
happy 5th, J.
