Limerick Six
The Revolutionary One
We’ve all been such lovely consumers,
But I know that you might have heard rumours
That we’re planning a coup.
Well, that just isn’t true.
(Yes, it is. Don’t you dare tell the boomers.)
◼︎
This poem is tongue-in-cheek. There are plenty of clever and wonderful boomers — parents and grandparents, builders and teachers, writers and thinkers. Make sure you deride bad ideas, not the elderly.
But don't put up with any crap, either.

B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.
