Long white hair bedraggled evidence

Of impressed monasticism as is my

Indolent chair bound attendance

This tense lockdown of despondency 

A pleasant measure of release

I've found in mind travel uncontrolled 

My memory flashes as it pleases

Past events I’ve been embroiled

Unannounced in random order

Flashes from a boyhood realm

Or with some long gone exotic lover

Past sea voyages at which I helm

Fancy or fact I can no longer tell

For the line between is blurred by age

It matters not why should one dwell

Chimera or not there is no umbrage 

Without connect these flights illogic 

Lasting seconds but with fallout long

I joyfully harvest these biopics

To spice my day’s bland evensong
