The mug was shot between tears and grin
When a lie uncaught was not
WAS
WAS NOT a sin.
Deception.  A game called Nada,
NOT A personal thing...

Nada, not a good end
Nor a begin.

Others' lens would open, holding new shows
Movies, visions, and what else, who knows?
But for him, no music;
the operature had closed.

(old stuff I found when cleaning out my junk room; thought I'd post it before I pitched it.)

I'm not sure I understand this one,
but I do enjoy the way you dust your shelves.

Midnitesun,

   Nada means 'nothing' in Spanish.  I tend to do word play to get my mind off of things.  This particular poem was about those who do wrong knowingly, but rationalize it to be ok.  (Heck, that applies to me, too!  How many times have I swiped cookies from my mother's freshly baked batch while thinking,  "she'll never know!"  I think she counts them now!!!)

Glad to see you again.  I am in the mist of
another major job change requiring much time and work.  Hope to see you at your post before long.

        misce


iliana,

   Glad you thought it was clever.  I really enjoy playing with words and sounds.  Sometimes they even make sense!  This one, I'm not so sure about, but it did to me at the time!
   Hope you had a great 4th, too.  

      misce
