lest there be
misunderstanding
covering my ass with word
the scent
of my intent--absurd
buried in the sand, I am
a prisoner of instinct
bound
by the walls of cell
I dig--
writing my confounderings
to know
the way to "out"
is "in."

serenity

the way to "out"
is "in."

But which way is in?

Hugs you...you are so full of wisdom and humor...I'm sure you can make your own in/out signs!

Now there's an interesting thought. Does that mean then....the way to "in" would be "out"?

You've given me something to ponder m'lady.

Hope you're well.. have missed you.

Those instincts have served you well thus far so "hanging in there" is not all that bad a thing or is it?  Depends on what side of glass you are on to make in, out, or out, in.

I guess it's time for me to 'fess up. This one is kind of a personal ditty I'd written for my daughter (misao) and it was inpsired by a family pet--a black cat named Mojo.

Mojo could not be contained to the confines of our house. We got her "fixed" in hopes that it would calm her down some, but it didn't help. This cat would wail and waller at the windows and door, and in our determination to keep her inside we all got very adept at ignoring her. Until...

She learned a secret weapon. She developed such appalling hygeine habits that we had no recourse but to open the door and let her roam. (Thus, wince, nodding "Mojo Clusters")

So the above was written after a discussion with my daughter regarding the apparent rewards of bad behavior.

An interesting fact is that as a result of her outdoor misadventures, Mojo lost her lips.

We have no idea if she lost them in a catfight or due to some infection she might have contracted as a result of her penchant for eating her "kills." But the fact remains, we have a cat named Mojo who made a mess of our carpet until she was granted her freedom.

(Now she looks like a cat version of Darth Vader!)

sigh...

I ain't so deep folks.



Thanks for reading!

You realize this is going to give me nightmares right? Can't you make it a mask?  Lord, that cat probably has a serious dominance issue, and likes being out to scare the crap out of every other 4-legged creature.  Do you have any idea how scary that picture is in my mind - a cat with no lips!
