The LODGE was in a bad way: it needed a fresh coat of PAINT; a bit of an upgrade to the kitchen; a whole lot of cleaning. We had started inside in the winter, with lots of determination. And now it’s summer, and after a satisfying MARCH around the building, we are ready. I made rum BABAS for dessert. With a little JAZZY dinner music and the rest of the fancy food from the kitchen. And then we’ll be ready to prove the naysayers wrong.

SLATE colored CARGO ships
vessels of adventure
The rats and I are HAPPY
it may seem DAFFY to celebrate
the migration of JANKY goods
yet so much life in motion sitting still watching the bustle
eating a JAMMY sandwich
recalling port scenes
from all genres of film and lit
gives me a JAZZY vibe
