Occipit II - And Hebrew, Too, Is Mine to Know

And Hebrew, too, is mine to know,
It does not strain the soul.
The cap I wore has been mislaid,
But the memory lives somehow.

Occipit I - That I Lived in a Latin Time

That I lived in a Latin time
Is a truth that cannot be doubted.
By that fact no root is routed,
Nor other tongue is slighted.

It takes one hell of a photographer
to do anything with this model.
Master of the loo selfie.

Gymnosophia LXX - Seventy-six Years

Seventy-six years are just
a decoration
on this cake
of many thousands.
I am not yet
full.

Gymnosophia LXIX - I'll Celebrate

I'll celebrate my seventy-six years,
and why not?
I'm older but wiser,
still healthy,
still ready
for whatever
is coming.
There is no way to prepare
for anything,
except the lessons
of these years,
and of
millennia.

It's a rainy Saturday morning.
I don't want to go out.
But I want to eat breakfast.
I've already washed the dishes,
now I, magician, must produce
a bowl of fruit.
