It seems there’s a fanciful notion in mind that I can begin at the beginning again and magically appear as I was back then without the appendage of what I’ve acquired. And I grant that my mind is fanciful too but it knows to look really hard at the view and appreciate all that grew in situ with care and attention or the lack thereof. I listen and smile; he can talk for awhile until impatient I sigh and softly declare “Never, you know, not in my lifetime will I lose what cost so much to acquire.” His words are spread over visual impact, hardened with starch of formative years, and ironed with the heat of pettiness but I listen and smile; he can talk for awhile. Not a foe when I’m lonely and thinking of you but really no friend to attest to his view in the manner of one perfect and spruce driving in nails with his free speech. I listen and smile; he can talk for awhile but two lonely ones can’t walk the same line when already he’s ironed and folded up views while mine still hang at the end of the line. Never, you know, not in my lifetime will views be co-joined in the same pile because I know of the worth and value to me of looking and thinking the way I do! Helen / 13 August 2008 |

It's a great title as is! And your "vent" is a creative outlet in powerful form. Eric |

Thanks, Eric! Perhaps I'm gathering in Karma by not being able to tell him to go to hell but then again perhaps more if I do tell him. One can't really know. Love Helen |

"Never, you know, not in my lifetime will views be co-joined in the same pile because I know of the worth and value to me of looking and thinking the way I do!" ~ Perhaps never the twain shall meet in that arena. I'm just thankful that you never lost yourself! You're strong and I like the way you think ~ and conduct yourself! There never really was a need to tell him "to go to hell"!  You're always right and that's all that counts! lol You truly are adorable! Love, Linda |
