Times

I, ofttimes, am too early, or too late
though hithermost I … travail
andtimeseemsuttermost ~

In consequence ~

today's horridscope’s byastroligical media
indicated only thirty-two years left…

…and counting…

one close to me once said…
I will be 150 years…

and I know I believed it, and her,
and her most microscopical ideology that
her furniture’s life would predecease her,
illogical though it seemed…

Yet…she had heard
of those who lived to be 110…

and hope, lives.

She did not.

But,

I wonder where that red couch
resides?

For I think I shall sit upon it
in 2051...

to heck with the signs...

I'm taking on my mother.

"to heck with the signs...

Now this is decidedly not sweet!

But I'm roaring with laughter here, hoping I did better...



loved it, P.(m?)S.

I kept her old Swivel chair as long as it held out.. it rocked Nathan and Nar in my lap when they were sick and only knew her from 2 poses, one cutting cake with Dad and later in life a proud bold likeness, the Grandma that they never met, but felt just the same

This, errrrr...must be a girl thing sort of.
And yet it is about something I relate tooo
well with....as I watch my own clock tick
and remember back to yesterday...which was
about 20 years ago to anyone else but me and
perhaps thee and well....you understand.

And I understand too.
