Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
So Where’s My Manna And Quail (Bussokusekika)
My life as a man
Began back in eighty four
Now in twenty four
Forty years of wandering
Through the wilderness of life
So where’s my manna and quail

About this poem
This one came to mind after thinking about something my little inner voice recently told me…It had something to do with Mark Twain and Haley’s Comet…Well…Said voice told me to see if the was a solar eclipse in my birth year???What are the odds???
