Dawn touches the porch
before the huge East End Glass
The least shall be first. 28.3
60
60 has gained in
status:
‘Now we are 6’ has
been reborn
as ‘Now we are‘60’
and appeals
to present seekers for aged
Christopher Robins.
Before
Our ‘strapped for
cash’ existence
60 was the age of
recline
Goodbye work,
welcome other things....
It’s a transitional
age today:
Forgetfulness and
prime in union.
To ancient
Babylonians,
60 was beautiful
Perfectly divisible
By a raft of
numbers;
Before fractions,
this meant much.
Mathematicians,
they yearned
For measures for
shape:
A circle’s degrees
became 360:
The joy of symmetry
6o exalted by times 6,
Arbitrary, yet
chosen.
The excitement of
trapping form,
Cake division
simplified.
It adds mystique
To a benchmark age. 29.3
Pushed in the scanner's mouth
The scanner growled and sang its divining
and made magnet pictures. 30.3
An ostrich on pro-sac
panic petrol buying
Where have we gone wrong? 31.3
Palm Sunday
Cheers turned to jeers
then "Crucify"
in six days;
Palms to sticks
Love to stone.
After the Operation
"Don't hobble, don't limp"
Beget smoothness:
We take walking for granted. 2.4
Hands which blessed others
were nailed to a cross
to bring us deeper blessing. 3.4
