This next poem I wrote back in 2007. Around that time I was putting my book of poetry together at a coffee shop near where I lived, while I was in between employment. I was spending long days compiling what I had and I found myself sometimes finishing scraps of partial poems from sometimes years before. "Jill" was one of those partial poems. Around that time I had met a girl who worked at the coffee house named Jill and it got my imagination moving enough to finish this poem. I mean, I'm Jack, shouldn't there be a Jill... and a hill? As for the date 12/29/1972 at 06:00 am, PST. At the time I wrote the poem I was heavily into Astrology, and so with hard study and geometric logic and astro plotting of all the planets, and... and with a lot of help from an online Astrology site, I came to the conclusion that a person born on that day, at that time was my perfect match. A young 48 year old, now. Oh well. As luck would have it, I've never been able to meet anyone with those dates and times. I'm still waiting.... Jill Someday I'll find my Jill Every Jack should have one With all the standard thrills Knows how to love and have fun Is there a proper way? Not some run of the mill If classifieds would say Right here, an awesome Jill Who am I to complain?
