10 and Ten Minus 8

Just back from Germany.
I already miss King Ludwig,
His castle imagination,
His operatic grotto,
His mountainous solitude.
History tell us
he was as tall as an aspen,
as rich as Walt Disney,
as modern as electricity.
He walked among the common people,
yet ate alone. Who wouldn’t want to live
with one’s head in the clouds?
