IS THAT HOW THE DAY ENDS?
IS THAT HOW THE DAY ENDS?
The day, any day, a Monday, a Friday;
Does the day matter? For the record
It’s a Thursday. The time is 6.53 pm NZDT
Enough information? musical accompaniment

The venue is a nice place across the road from Eastgate
Too much? Too little? That’s it, for the moment
A day short of entering the second quarter of 2022
Should be acknowledged, do you not agree?
March Hare Madness Day? The day I lose my marbles?
Marbles? WTH. How about my cosmic sanity?
Does the piano have a theme to that? Cosmic sanity?
What does it mean? The drums might keep the band in rhythm
March Hare Madness Day. It has a nice sense of alliteration
That softens the blow of its content. Sing me to sleep
Mellow chords of jazz. Each chord precludes a question
Announces a mystery. Oh, to get lost in that melody
To leave the cares and woes of the world behind
So, on this day. The day before April. The month
That announces autumn, cooler weather; I sit
Listening to wondrous music, floating in incomplete
Questions and answers, incompletely blessed
A citizen of this doomed planet, spinning in space
A cosmic picture that defies understanding
That reduces us to ants; invites us to be gods
In our capacity to understand. Someone erred.
Someone stuffed it up.
At 7.22 pm, Thursday 31 March. I say adieu
I say adios, I say farewell. If you can tell me
What’s this poem about; please email me.
Sayonara. Auf wedersehen, Au revoir.
Nice one, Trev!
