hair, like life so hard to control frustrating until letting go ending up with tumbleweed blowing any way the wind sees fit to take it fumbling for the right look acceptance from an unkind world in cubes running numbers numbers running jumbled, illogical band aids people silently shouting to be on stage, spotlight shine on forehead, a target growing enough to understand a suit of facade will not a mark in history make midday hour full of sweating out the frustrating foreplay for a love that always gives making the rest of cube day bearable Spanish words penetrate the drive from one world to another four digit code gains entrance to meditation of family tumbleweed relaxing at last __________________________ *fk* "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I know that tumbleweed... it often gets tangled up on barbwire... which is not like telephone wire although at times you can hear it sing in the wind... |

This also made me smile, Susan. I guess we can all relate to tumbleweed and just like life it's sometimes better to just ignore it. Easier said than done though. Enjoyed your words. Helen |
