JWG's Tomorrow Today — Willow Trees Shade (a poem)

Wherein JWG, as ever, is prepared for the inevitable.

Willow Trees Shade

There is a date that no one knows.
Even clairvoyants know nothing.
The Cuckoo may be the closest
When it calls out its ghoulish call.
There is no need to ponder Death.

One’s will has been notarized.
One’s desire is strong.
One’s image hasn’t changed.
One’s health isn’t the best.
One’s pleasure is Being.

Willow trees shade
Secret playgrounds
That children use
For escaping
Adult problems.
