The Things One Remembers
It was either New Orleans or in
old Monterey where a
crawfish jumped out of the pot
and made a clean getaway
On reflection, it’s funny what one
might remember on a
cold winter day, like today, when
delirious with a covid viral
infection and nowt else much to say

- Comment from author about the poem: this is a 100% true recollection from a while back .. if I hadn't already posted little scribbles called Delirium & Freedom, then that is what I would have called this one :)

I remember - I was delirious too. When KP was home for a week - an actual whole week! I never see her hardly now in person. lol.
that's probably because the prison has changed its visiting hours 🙂
Well they say sweat of infection releases strange dreams Nev.. You well pen here what delirium produces - True or not I'm glad that poor crawfish proved viral heat can be cruelly hot..............x
I remember the moment as if it was yesterday, which of course it was not .......... x
Cheering the crawfish, Nev - Glad the delirium has dissipated.
I Iost count of the number of folk who witnessed the great escape and were cheering for him or her to make it to the grille in the sidewalk and presumably back to safety .. funny how so many switch sides and what it takes for them to do that isn't it ......... for some reason, my own delight felt more like exhilaration ... and I am a guy who loves his seafood ...............

get well soon, Hyung
being drowned in tissue stuffed red noses
and watery, rubbed purple eyes
is the worst
at this festive time of year
still, it does help
that you can always take an extra sip or two
of the strong stuff
you know... purely for medicinal reasons
'ahem'
(and I always wanted to visit a traditional cookout place in the south
a place where they sale kilos of bright red flavoured softshell fish in plastic bags
and hickory smoked, everything)
lol
thank you brother Mek .. those that went belly up were delicious .. 🙂
