Cancer lady, firstly

[still.trucking]

She will lash out at you in a heart beat
like a snake of lightning
and the anger spreads through my blood like venom
and physiology takes over and the neurons fire
speech ciruits open
tongue engaged
I lash back
and as the chemicals metabolize
I am one step in front of myself looking back and forgetting and regretting I did not see the humor in it,

Next time I think I will take a shower.

So much for me and baby sis
how about you
I hope you dance yourself many dances
So good to dance
Yes the planet needs more happy grateful feets.

[the mingo]

Are you out dancing at this very moment ? It's to be hoped for.

no happy feet like a pachyderm's

poem i wrote to a lady i have liked for 37 years
now i love her, as i had wanted to before
it speaks to her condition, your condition too
and everyone's at times

• A country Fair

"F" as in FRANK
with pain
and hard facts
will you take me to a country fair?
let my intentions be known
when the last frost's hardness
is melting away
"F" as in fair point
with pain and joy
hardness and softness of fact
will you take me to a country fair?

I get to be here again. Playing catch me up.
Five glasses of wine laters
and there'll be dancing.

[jimboloco]

drink wine show smiles

We can take a ticket and be on our way.
I always want to go somewhere.

My cousin said I wouldn't want to go to the desert,
he said all the lawns are bought and so are the trees,
everything an exhaustive sand
and I told him it was o.k. cause
all I gets to see is the non-stop blank of fallen snow,
everything's white.

[the mingo]

You might like the deserts, D, (I'm thinkin' the southwest) they are not empty and they are not nothin'. You got snow already ? or were you just sayin' ?

[SadLuckDame]

I was just sayin', mingo
we do get I think five to six months of it.
It's not unusual to have a snowy Halloween.

I'd like to check it,
the desert that is and see what is in it I might likes.
I'm afraid of the spiders there and airplanes creep me out.

[the mingo]

I don't fly no more and some of the spiders there in the desert can move fast. I was glad for it all way when but I just float these days.

So tell me, shiner, what the fuck do you think makes ya better than a doll, literally from the wrong side of the tracks? Do you think reading all ya read earns ya the blues, baby? You think that collage education bruising your smarts does it, too? It doesn't earn ya shit, nothing does. You're still gonna be returning to dirt. Isn't that the sickest joke of em all? And I didn't need an education to learn that.

I suppose I do have a sick sense of humor.

"G d is not mocked except by believers"

What I thought it earned me was escape and avoidance of the sins of the fathers

[zero_hero]

she is not so much my cat fish as my magician.

[SadLuckDame]

Oh! noes. That was not really true to me, I was just in a fuming moment, not at all likes me, Jack. I feel awful about when I'm not the most tender.
Forgive a girl likes me? Promise.
