lonely were a thesis
of bones and stretched connections
a carcass-sized selection
of a hundred thousand lines

who’d read this thesis, the sis?
spitting hiss after sputter
false hopes? (not your mother)
false starts? (not your father)
who would even bother?

not your packed-bag professor
(a prim de la prim obsessor )  
not your spouse inside the house
not your friend upon the mend
not your hat not your cat
not even your welcome mat

they’d spill their divining essence
and wait ‘til christmas. Presents
a thesis that made no sound

full of furry
sig: defy nothing
the title of this the thesis:
lonely and in pisces…

WOW,
Vintage you! Where have you been big guy? I for one have missed your style. Fun write but I'm betting it wasn't a cheap education.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Oh, why ask why?
Well now, if even your Prof isn't going to read it . . . who's going to rubber stamp ya?
You know, there is one thing worse.
The library copy disappears later and no one notices.
Oh, the humiliation . . .
But the experience . . . ?

s.a.g.

p.s.  Oh ya, you'll make so much more money with that thing hanging out of your back pocket.  Right !
But hey, I'm not bitter or anything . . .
