Limping but I'm walking, little knives of pain could bring a rain of tears if I let them. What good to explain simple dregs from the past if nothing else is learned; I know life doesn't last and pain at least reminds me I'm alive; what is all this jive talk about being satisfied? I cross paths with women now through acts of desperation, their desperation never mine; I seem to have left my yearning in another century, another time. Don't you love time; I mean really don't you just love it? It's like hot sauce on home fries and sunny sides, makes it all worth doing, without it life would be a dull sop for tears. ©2010 by icebox |

Walking but I'm limping too and time is not a friend of mine: The daze consults the calendar The haze is thumbtax: "There y'are..." pressed into a map of that-- it's what I was chosen to do.  It' great to read you, love. |

Yes, I just love time and the little knives of pain. Kind of like a horror movie where you're on the edge of your seat but you're afraid to see what is going to happen next. Ida |

Yep, the days are long and the years so short. Doing time, biding your time, all are the time of your life. I don't even keep time anymore, I want a watch that just says "NOW".... This was a piece I could relate to so well, desperation, sometimes terrible pain, and the time well spent reading this. |

"I seem to have left my yearning in another century, another time." "Don't you love time; I mean really don't you just love it?

Yes it is no good to dig up dregs from the past if nothing is learned. Good use of metaphor. |
