In Kathmandu
Rain falls like Shiva’s tears
Great darkened clouds
Come roiling onto jagged peaks
Above the valley
Thunder echoes
Warm rain
Lightning scatters monkeys
Who take shelter in the wooden eves above a temple
As umbrellas blossom in the marketplace below.
Monsoon.
The Double OhOh.
Don’t insult a twofer,
one and two makes
a triple no no no.
Walking down the Royal Mile,
When was the last time you broke the confidence?
Get it Right Next time,
Dealing with the death of
of an unchartered lingo.
Miles Away,
Again a Double OhOh.
Sleepwalking through your speech,
keep it to yourself.
Hypnotized in the Oh Well,
An unbiased letting go,
and respectfully avoid the Double Ohoh.

Bob Eager would like to present a written form that discusses a big mistake people make. Saying something against people one time is only a questionable offense. Saying something twice is unforgivable.
