I rejoice in the quick fire exchanges - a spin-off

from the intellectual propagation of ideas

appearing from nowhere around my dining-room table -

where I ably instigate the evening's tone.

I've grown in stature! A porthole has pierced the clouds,

allowing a proud glimpse of the future ‘Me’,

teeing off with splendid communicative drives,

and lively conversations bubbling around.

I've found a new peg for a different hat -

a matter of incorporation (and fundamental

by intent) within my basic style of living -

to give it frequent display in my choice of attire.

     Or like the great conductor with his band,

     the symphony is played at my command.
