Where did I spend time vacated?
have weathered out questions about faces
worried incessantly 'bout time allocated
and remain strapped down in places.
Who could I have been with?
as weathered beings water their lawns
could I have reached their pith
strapped to chess boards, losing pawns.
Must I take leave of myself symbolically,
have not been able to loosen clothing holds
needs become anxieties, periodically
find my doubts still bask in material folds.
How to live more years with unwarranted stresses?
courage, will live a hundred more, as He blesses.

Thanx,

I'm counting on doing it in style though, maybe a little wine each day like a guy in Sicily who made it almost to 113. Wine was his secret, he says. Hey I liked your rendition of what happened to the last site, no I don't think they all changed names, I just think management couldn't given a d**n
about who would write.
