the turned


back of the lonely the cold icy
smiles mad mother the lonely other with
terrors unsorted yet a real no you shouldn’t
story feeling a jealous eyes project on a no
shoe Sunday thoughts too complex to
tire away monologues to little
given reasons failed
your home
work didn’t get

a cheat sheet flunked the test
can’t find the rest strange strength
knowing but not as old as you used
to think yesterdays gone to claim

it’s grown a quaking
quagmire land
of sponge
eclipsed
o’er surface
a most precarious
and difficult predicament
but you’ll live or so I’ve been
told but I’m not sure of the
appropriate procedure

The "turned back of the lonely", and the appropriate procedure of how to live knocks me senseless on the floor of my mind - how can I tell you how your descriptions of pain touch me!!!!!!!

Elizabeth thanks for noticing

Rosemary,
The "turned back of the lonely", you know this came from Roger Waters it's appropriate though.


Marge,

*Hugs Aways*
