“Avuncular Tinty”
I traveled the line,
from end to end.
Doors hydraulic,
composites of friends.
I didn’t acknowledge,
your presence that night.
A terrible hurry,
caught me in flight.
No time for a greeting,
a how do you do?
A moment I squandered,
no chance to redo.
I think on that moment,
how selfish of me.
No getting back,
a moment so sweet.
Jingles in pockets,
breath fresh and minty.
Your presence now missed,
avuncular tinty.
