The Day Why do we revolve around the sun instead of the daughter Why does our star burn the moon, when she pulls down her pants God’s son picked my vegetables today but couldn’t afford to eat any of them As people drove by, throwing buts and ifs out their car windows at the mix of cans on the side of the road fouling the air that was illegal, for him, to breathe. How come sometimes we put the dumb, back in freedom The yarn on my headless scalp, can now thread the needle of a dying pine tree Why did I get burrs on eight toes the month after September Why is it that I like roses, for their thorns and the blood they take from my hands How does a flower ride a bike without its, pedals How come even though I wonder I’m not sure I want to know, how you feel Why was I cursed for the want, to be trapped in your thoughts The more words I learn, the harder it is to right, the wrongs All the desert ever wanted for a present was a cloud wrapped with a rainbow How come the how’s are always harder to learn, then the wise The skin of autumn is growing tight, in my genes Why does part of me leave every time, I come Why do you want to impale yourself on my spear it. I’ve got two one way tickets to the minute, after tomorrow that expire a day after last night Why do hugs always have to get mad when all you have to embrace is air Why do they call it Tuesday if that day you’re only, one How come smiles sometimes are easier to write, then make How come I can only hear your skin in the dark I want to be the man, in, your woman I want to be the ocean that fills the shores of your blue bay How can there be an I love, without, you Lord help my eyes stay torn I died the day to my eyes, she was born |

Love to read your ramblin' thoughts! You 'cook' up some good ones! They take your readers (and fans!) on a circuitous route through a very unusual (and talented) mind! I strap myself into my home office chair and get ready for an exciting (and sometimes erotic) ride which is sure to take my breath away! I am sometimes discombobulated ~ but I am always bedazzled!  Love 'n hugs, Linda |

At least you seem to have gotten Lori confused . . . That is difficult to do . . Actually I don't thing she was confused in the least. A little class warfare because God's son couldn't buy the apples?. Maybe. I think God's son ought to be able figure out how he can buy the apple orchid someday. It's called self reliance. ~* The saddest words of tongue or pen are the words It might have been.--John Greenleaf Whittier ~*~ |

Ahhhh, my head is swimming too many questions and no data. Let me ask you one: If two can sleep alone, can one sleep together? You can do the word rambling thing real good. I mean look what you did to Lori. Wow... Enjoyed, The Day of questions... JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
