Note: I wrote this for you, Mr. Stewart. Hope you like it...

*

Used record stores provide the answers

(after considerable searches);

all eye-contacting nervous staff.

*

I see the murmur of kudzu; a stone rest

(and Athens without the histories);

all several centuries before me.

*

Really. Exciting. Music.

(vinyl of their first full play after first gigs)

I have my smile at the counter.

*

Biology scorns my questions.

(a rush to buy; to find facilities)

The quick run to the calm cool seat.

*

Colons provide their own questions

(not so quiet on porcelain; pauses and touches)

Roughage to the rescue.

*

My favours from language? The language I hate?

(all moves from one to other places)

Both provide a hole in one.

A place to think...

*
