Do you ever wonder why you like a person
Was it that song that perked up your horizons
Was it something or some age that spoke primitive essence to you
Do you ever learn that a person was worth attention from other points of view
Did you ever spend your mind, not your time

Did you ever say "I dont understand"

As a tiger or tigress on a bridge
Wondering
Does the bridge

You move into life on your own terms
No matter what anyone else's terms are
You take a failure to argue as agreement

On a station or office or mind you meet
You wonder whether it would be better
You remember why
And wonder

Like a funfair
Or English post cards
Which were text when Post Office lost it to Unions
You delivered
Hand written cards
You posted in the morning and delivered that afternoon for an assignment

Controlled, stamped, delivered by all
But the heart

and politicians dont deliver

Love

except of themselves

thought provoking, Dave
things that go bump in the night--a writer's feet as he/she bounds out of bed at 3 am to put pen to paper to write something down in fear that it will be forgotten by morning

Dave...I like the meander of your thoughts in this.

Yes I know I have everything there to write - apart from me

even the poem I am working on

It is all there

and I know it
