It moves from me
in quiet froth
a verb
on a mission
efficacious
I would hurl
epitaphs instead
but they’re way too heavy
and oddly shaped
for effective
crisp defamation
In Italy
when the weather’s bad
they say
Fa cattivo tempo
So I say that
fast and over and find
some fleeting satisfaction
Warships aft,
life’s about to suck
and everyone is thinking
Frigate

Love the humor in this. Love the bilingual plays on words.
Thank you, Johnny A.. Very much obliged. One of those that’s old enough such that when I read it, it strikes me as written by someone other than myself. —CC
I know that experience. Yes.
