Eh, today,
This one is a milestone, so you say,
Which one,
Oh I forget, some number.
What is today?
Then it’s not this day,
But a yesterday,
Wait,
Perhaps it’s tomorrow.

Whose,
Oh it’s not mine,
Someone else’s milestone.
It is mine?
Which one?
Let me do the math,
Oh I passed that one years ago,
Several or was it more,
I stopped keeping track
Years ago.

What?
You celebrate all at once,
Why?
A month at a time,
Oh I don’t mind,
Yes, a busy month June is,
No, you go along,
I’ll just stay here,
That would be nice,
The cake will go with my wine,
Have a nice time.

Hello,
It’s you again,
Yes I’m still fine
I’m still here,
Oh that,
Well, put it over there,
I’ll get to it latter,
Perhaps.
Alright,
Yes drop by again
Later.
Thanks once more,
Close the door.
Good night.

Oh,
Not yet,
Still afternoon?
The next morning,
Still morning.
No,
You can take it.

I lost my place,
Oh any page will do
I’ve read it six times through.
Thanks for picking it up for me,
Could you pour me a little wine,
If you’ve the time,
What,
No wine?
Oh well,
Oh.

Thank you, Nakdthoughts,
I am pleased you liked my words,
But more like white marbles rather than pearls.

Thank you, Cpat Hair,
Glad you enjoyed the weave.

Thank you, Suetang,
Your words honor me.

Thank you, Titia,
Reading joy means I accomplished the writers goal.

Thank you, ethome,
I am pleased you also enjoyed.
