Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



There Are Loose Ends To Cinch Up   (Bussokusekika)

I’m sorry ladies
I’ll not be chasing Ziggy
And the morning light
I have things to do
And a few places to go
There are loose ends to cinch up

About this poem

I do believe I need to schedule a CT scan next…I was told it’s a process to determine asbestos exposure…I used to wonder why my lungs always looked so white on my x-rays…I guess now I know why…Jumping through hopes is a Marine Corps pastime…lol…Maybe I’ll hang around for 3 moor beers…I’ve learned by slowing my breathing it helps quite a bit…
