Throwing hand grenades at treachery I sit on the purse of morning… Stacking milk crates in my attic Unbuttoned blouse of relaxed age Bagging and droopy Animate... Armed with map & buoyant illusions Dusting off classics Ranting bout dreams I’ve touched Like a watchful beneficiary Holding fierce storms like a mystery Still loving a long gone grand-mama Sentiment crawls slowly through the night Like the sons/daughters of Christians Making unsturdy buildings quake Ears standing up while A curse points his fingers Seeking lost souls at ocean depths Robbing their tombs, their livelihood Nonchalant, like kites flowing overhead But… Indwelling nature follows poltergeist dictation Guilt for betrayal, lies Praying to never loose this cap of insanity That everyone believes me to wear Feeling different, and yet…certain Climbing fraternal orders of mountains Dwelling within the spirits of man In appreciation of their Bibles Wanting to speak my own language Understanding there’s It’s the missing link, I hate Chicken soup withdrawing itself Choosing creatures of the realms Cosmic discrimination divorces fairness It is then I wash the floors of the Ashram Empowering collected sails Across the twin of flesh Able to hear up to the very end Not leaving the side of all those trees My brothers planted For the sake of fitting in or on the train |

LeeJ "Praying to never loose this cap of insanity That everyone believes me to wear Feeling different, and yet…certain Climbing fraternal orders of mountains Dwelling within the spirits of man In appreciation of their Bibles Wanting to speak my own language Understanding there’s" Whatever it is that you have, I think much more then insanity, but many things mixed with a genius for being able to illustrate with your words just what you are and feel. I admire you greatly!  |

DAMN! Girl, this one is a classic! Now, you know I don't often let loose with an expletive like that, but good gads gal...I just about lost it over several lines! Thinking "yes, THIS! and THIS!!" Geez... I'm glad I scrolled down.  |

I too, enjoyed your opening gambit of "Throwing hand grenades at treachery" Yes indeed. and sometimes I just pull the pin and wait. You've got so much spunk, lady, but it is tempered with compassion. I could learn much from you. |

It sounds like you've been burned, Lee, but you are wiser for it, but no less intolerant. Slick writing. |
