so i confess indifferent conversation explains like a green grocer refreshes memory warm in my skin i’m four blocks from the local pub accepting my usual print blouse time does allow a secret umbrella like a cabbie, with a vast imagination raising his eyebrow with a simple cure for chills, and that ache you think will never leave my story vows all nights off donning my slippers warm there are certain things bearing no deviation i brush flour off my nose thinking of the cell i once called home avoiding tabloid journalists who say, I'm a wart on the butt of humanity? kicking morning announcements not falling short of my grade average my world emits more meals pounding at my door even with an average report card and all to often poor spelling but... still wearing that golden key around my neck like an immovable rock evoking some horrid quiver while the ground beneath me shifts when coupled thoughts tease and tempt flesh of mind i pay the bartender, tipping him never going back for that second drink the one which bred evening routine like an ill effect, justifies explanations i refuse the words… refuse the speeches “go ahead” i say, “throw rotten eggs at me, i don’t need an assembly to retrace my steps!” while pouring a happy face into that long hallway the one that makes everyone turn and gasp at the clothes I wear because i thank god i’m here… no more breaths of anxiety no more chocking my song no more hammering my head i stand at the podium with my treasured list campaining for artists screaming "Leave the alone!" clutching hard to my provisions for one and that key around my neck, shakes my hand and says, darlin, our life has just begun… keys can talk yanno yes they can  now go find your own key.... don't tarnish mine!

I think this will be a good weekend to catch up with everything you've written lately... I'm woefully behind on your wit and wisdom...  |
