I Know I Had Turned It Off (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)

I Know I Had Turned It Off   (Bussokusekika)

I am quite perplexed
As to why my phone was on
In Newberry Park
Why wouldn’t the signals change
That is becoming common
I know I had turned it off

About this poem

Maybe I am growing senile in my old age…As if it was random that “The Bandit” by Jerry Reed was playing while I was topping off Blu’s tank…So much for chaos…But what do I know…And what IF I just might have made it all the way to TX???What then???
