10,958. IN THE CAPRICE OF MOMENT

IN THE CAPRICE 
OF MOMENT
Whether or not you agree doesn't 
much matter; I've read the book
too long ago, and the signatories 
now are all gone anyway. Alsace
and Lorraine, no matter either;
both places are disappeared.
-
We call them all one nation now;
the flush of coming and going is
over as well  -  the new river is foul,
and the water hardly runs at all.
If they build a feed mill near the
water-wheel, watch out.
-
My corduroy jacket, the one
from Germany, that you gave me
10 years or more ago, yep, I still
have it and wear it often enough 
too. It serves the purpose now,
and very well, thank you.
