(with thanks to brian wilson & mike love)

international drink
like you're irish day
& i'm wearing my i've got
irish roots
green t-shirt
with another green shirt
& an orange coat (apparently
my great-grandfather namesake
was grand master of the sandy
point orange lodge) but
it's too warm for the coat
& my irish like my english
has strong scandinavian roots
french huguenot roots too

have been writing & rewriting
adding pages to the report
making room for more & ...

       ahhhhhhhh
       good good good good citations
       i'm quotin' these good citations
       she's giving me more citations
       good good good good citations

       i   i love the colourful thoughts she has
       & the way the sunlight plays upon her wine
       i hear the sound of intel words
       on the wind that carries sheep bells through the air

       gotta keep these lovin' good citations
       a happenin' with us
       gotta keep these lovin' good citations
       a happenin' with us
       gotta keep these lovin' good citations
       a happenin'

& i'm in d'avray 145 right now
after a run to covey basics
scoop 'n' save bulk barn & anbl
picking up found gloves & a foam
red heart on sidewalk en route
to a pint or twa at alden nowlan
house open this saturday afternoon
st paddy's day celebración especial
