Viewpoint

Gene Pennell 1955 (Winthrop Mass)

Narrative
Viewpoint

We argue, we fight
over whose viewpoint is right

Who Knows?

Kathy, with you I have
stood in front of glaciers
traveled the US
found a friend
Discovered the love of a dog
was forgiven my many trespasses
Slept in Hawaii
We ate like Kings and Queens
took a picture together with Jay Leno
Lived the life that we chose
Seen the impossible
Entered the New Age of Aquarius
wept from the bottom of our souls
Grew into wisdom
Laughed until we cried
We loved and we played
More than most people it's agreed
Doing it our way while
doing it all on weed.
