Analysis of What Of Invisible Friends (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



What Of Invisible Friends   (Bussokusekika)

What is the meaning
Of among these who stand by
Troops in position
Awaiting further orders
From their commander and chief
What of invisible friends

About this poem

This one came to mind after reading Zachariah 3:7…For what it’s worth…As IF this to is about me…It’s always me me me…That must make me a true narci…Could those on stand by be the ones behind Brunot Islamd and Lahaina??? And what of truff???For those interested…You may use the Mirriam Webester online version and you may look up standby or stand by…I find it rather flabbergasting if you think about the examples presented…What coincidence that power plant and airline are examples used in the definitions…Oh well…
