HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?

Eroda by Marc Adornato

Have You Seen This Man?

Have you seen this man?
He is MY MAN, stood
In a Canadian river, on wood
In a suit and antlers
With Canadian geese
In flight, passing.

Have you seen this man?
He is a GENTLEMAN, waiting
In a Canadian lake, in wood
Geared up and ready
For a Canadian lady
In flight, coming.

He cocks his head
He’s listening.
He tilts his face
He’s understanding.

Have you seen this man?
He is MY MAN, good!
In a Canadian setting, on wood
In a suit and antlers
Prepared and steady
For a Canadian lady.

He is set for battle
He is ready for her war
Feet planted in the deep
Calm in his nature.

In a gas mask, sure
It’s to protect him from airs
That have infected too many
In this world.

Fuck London
and their fast and furious!
Give me a man un-embattled
from the place I call home.
