Far from forgetting

I do try...

Most dangerous when I succeed
until a button I suppressed
appears as though I took a hit
and the bullet in me, stayed
to stray to do some mission in
beyond and underneath my skin
the pathways of corpuscling--

I fear

the helpful aid of circumstance
as if my past was naught but lint:

Let me help take care of this

They "fix" me, as they pull the pin--

"I told you what I was..."

chagrin

"Sometimes you deal the dead man in--"

Boom

sometimes he wins.

Ah,one brave soul.

My dog Anna, passed away earlier this year, she was bred for fighting and was an especially nervous doggie, as many rescue dogs are inclined to be, but?

Once I gave her the okay, she was usually fine with people as long as no one made any sudden motions toward me.

Oh. And I had to caution people to avoid trying to be friendly over the fence.

I understood her boundaries more than I understood my own.

Such scarred beings can be dangerous, yes, but if one can earn their loyalty? You've got a platoon of protection.

Thanks for reading.

I have a Beware of God sign on my gate..people hear the dogs barking and think I was/am lexicdys..the dogs think of me as their god...the sign means if you mess with the dogs, their god will shoot you dead, right there, no discussion.  I bet you wonder why I told you this right?

I have decided that after long last, I do not have people all figured out. And I'm hoping others will grant me the same courtesy.

But I wish you would tell me your reasoning, as since you said that, I have disturbing visuals of a scene from The Great Santini.

sigh...it isn't easy being a human search engine.

Oh. Was that a rhetorical question?

(And is asking if something is a rhetorical question a rhetorical question if the goal is deliberate ambiguity?)

Guess I'll die wonderin'...

Thanks for "the eyes," dawlin'.

You have such  a creative mind...and since I live in and have been in a protective, naive type environment most of my life (except for life's inevitabilities) I usually have to wait for some responses to better understand you.

As with each read, I find you simply complex and rather enjoyable. I hope you are surviving well there and if you are in need or anyone you know needs anything material that I may be ridding myself of, send me an email. Yard sales are not much fun for me and I surely would rather "thngs" go to someone in need.

Karen, I think the reason DS told you that, was to tell you that he loves his dogs too.

As I mentioned to you in an email some time after my precious Daisy dog died on 18/12/2009, I am so very sorry about Anna.  I know the ache only too well.  

Hugs

aw, ((((((((((((((Diana)))))))))))) and <3mo<3.

This is more about me than it is about Annie.

Thanks for reading, lovie.

And oh, about those yard sales, before it started raining every day, we were having a lot of fun with craigslist "curb alerts". I suspect that even if I had more money than Oprah, I'd still get a kick out of the hunt for the bargain.
