Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

I prefer the spirits
that taste like bourbon
and never try to spook me into
quitting

I'm doing great,
lifting weights,
dancing tap,
avoiding unnecessary crap
pretending I'm young
among throngs of 30-somethings.

How are you, Ming?
Did your ears ring
the other day when we
said fabulous things
about your writing?

Got together with Creativesoul and Saw.
There ought to be law
against so much fun!
It was an absolute hoot!
