wet ended kiss detonated flashpots hydraulic lifts washed out candlelight i waited, chasing nametags & purpose my birthstone is strawberry i wear butterfly slippers to bed they flutter in my dreams did you move? i didn't move there must be a happy ending it's not as it seems i love it when you lose did you move? i didn't move did you lose? i didn't see i was looking at that palm tree it's dead, it should be cut down imagine holding its dried brown fronds skirting away on the hot wind i love it when you cry would you wash out the stains? stand gleaming in the rain? it doesn't rain much here a single worm in the darkness tapered red fruit, pebbled with seed which way should the arrows travel to point? i want to anoint god, the way she wears solace mercy is not a game, a pain, a prayer's chance in hell god, the way she wears sorrow god, the way she wears evening god, the way she wears nothing a minimum of hull the dream must end here (remove overwrap, underthings) california be |

my birthstone is strawberry i wear butterfly slippers to bed they flutter in my dreams did you move? i didn't move there must be a happy ending it's not as it seems i love it when you lose ------------ i want to anoint god, the way she wears solace mercy is not a game, a pain, a prayer's chance in hell god, the way she wears sorrow god, the way she wears evening god, the way she wears nothing -------------- and I love when you write like this god, when you write like this  I was so hoping one of these would pop up from you before I signed off for the nite ... I smiled when one did ... my heart smiled seeing another butterfly slipper line ... especially today, and it just goes so well with the "strawberry memories" thanks cool poet later-LA-gator jm/bs |

Hey, walt. Glad you enjoyed the poem, and I'd love to have a brain pickin' session. I totally forgot to remove the icq property from my profile -- I'll do that now. I don't have icq any more; sorry about that.  Mike |

Hey, B.S. Glad you enjoyed the poem, and the line. That stanza was, of course, the one I tried to work into the Super Uber poem (untitled fantasy (without marshmallows)). I liked it too much to scrap it, so why not try again? Talk with ya later, Mike |

S'en, I believe if you're not persistent and willing to ride the triumphs and the failures equally, you're not going to live your dreams. Thanks for reading, as always. Mike |
