sorely missing the vibration
on my person jibber jabbering around my ankle
the mere fact of forgetting the lifeline didst rankle.
Earlier one fortnight ago from Nov\' 24th
stemming from tide dull
the Old English term fēowertȳne niht,
which literally means\"fourteen nights\"),
I ran a high electric acid kool-aid test dry run
(actually drive) to the ophthalmologist
named Refocus Eye Health Care
found me dashing out the door
(no, not on a white horse open sleigh),
but steer our not so smart car
to aforementioned destination
for the actual appointment tomorrow
Veterans Day 2026
(early in the morning -
now schedule subject to change),
when upon reaching
753 Main Street, Trappe, Pennsylvania,
I went into a full blown panic,
and felt alarmed without
handheld telecommunication device
and veritable lifeline to survival,
which usually gets
tucked into my ankle high sock
since shallow pants or shirt pockets
might spell lost in cyberspace
videre licet Verizon Galaxy S23
amidst all the data bits
(merely a series
of digital ones and zero
indicating the presence
or absence of an electrical charge)
and bytes invisible to the naked eye,
but a treasure trove
to computer Hackers
who gain access
to computer systems
by exploiting technical weaknesses,
human errors, or misconfigurations,
or maybe even
(the unthinkable) deliberate turncoat
selling information to a competitor.
Money doth betray
even if I acquired one million dollars
an alternative place to live
(a two bedroom apartment
with the missus)
with find us packing
and downsizing without delay
posting on Buy Nothing,
Craigslist and Free Cycle
feeling euphoric and able,
eager, ready and
willing to shout hip hip hooray
taking a long overdo vacation
blissfully stride ding rite unto the jetway
(also known as a jet bridge
or passenger boarding bridge)
an enclosed, movable,
and climate-controlled walkway
that directly connects
an airport terminal gate to an aircraft
upon snagging a window seat
politely asking the stewardess
for a triple latte,
which would be
shared with the spouse,
who do to dietary restrictions
who would shake her head
back and forth
to communicate non-verbally nay
thanking me kindly
with her playful endearment of padre
and other occasions,
she calls her husband
das scribe burr of these words sir
henceforth I would don earbuds
and listen with eyes wide shut
François Rabelais
(c. 1494–1553) a major
French Renaissance writer,
physician, humanist, and satirist
cuz my virgin flight
aboard the airplane with be noisy
with passengers talking
to loud for me
to read free of distraction
and afterward click one of
Apple\'s latest iPhone models
to watch and listen to a teleplay
by the same or similar artist,
but this time around
with eyes narrowly shut,
which latest version include
the iPhone Duo (a foldable model
released in October 2026)
and the iPhone 18 Pro
and iPhone 18 Pro Max
(released in September 2026)
concentrating attention
of mine also more particularly
to block out a loud passenger,
whose laments of oye vey
thus imagining being in the tropics
singing Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is just a dream,
I can only imagine
(actual experience never appeased)
viewing the clearest
body of fresh water in the world
identified as Rotomairewhenua
(Blue Lake) in New Zealand’s
Nelson Lakes National Park,
analogous to view x-ray,
which features an optical clarity
and underwater visibility
of up to 260 feet (80 meters),
nearly as clear as distilled water.
