Jim Leftwich -- Wood Nah Nymph Glue

Wood Nah Nymph Glue 

Ancestral Sonnetesque 

By the 1750s families 

Of Quakers had settled 

In Goose Creek Valley 

Soon thereafter the 

Leftwiches of Augustine 

settled not far away 

Propagated and owned 

Property in what later 

Became Bedford County 

In the 1970s I was given 

A partial scholarship 

To a small Quaker College 

Wood nah nymph glue 

Everything is connected

 The twisted wrist's rustwatch 

It's raining glass 

Sideways 

5 thousand miles an hour 

Time is ruining out 

For a glass of ilk

And a s/ice of read
