And so concludes this woman, me there are means to know the feel when mind like a faucet pours the strange mysterious into daily life. Sometimes it gushes hard and fast, sometimes trickles slow, but always there’s a “something” that washes into consciousness the inexplicable. I thought to know the how, why, what, the meaning, purpose, truth, but it comes and gurgles down the drain of a brain not yet enlarged. And so concludes this woman, me no point the reach and stretch when faucets do the damndest thing like opening at will. It’s first a river then a stream, a dribble, drip, leak, ooze, and I don’t know what tool to use to turn the damned thing off. Help, help me, please and “ain’t” that something, see when, lo behold, the flow ceases like a dream before the end and leaves a woman just like me in the missing of the gush and gurgle, dribble, drip, of the strange mysterious. Help, help me, please and “ain’t” that something, see to ask and then to see again faucets do the damndest thing like opening at will!

how imaginative and expressive this is. You show lots of feeling and accompany it with a lot of suggestive sounds and images. A very good combination for self-expression! Danny |

Sometimes (most of the time) I feel like someone spun the knobs wide open, and then broke 'em off. Great write. |
