My life is cooking and laundry and cleaning and sex, I want to leave to where it's not so complex. Pack your bags and leave for a week till I can get a ticket out I've seen and I've had it now of knowing what married life is about. I'm getting on a bus out of town down to the beach where I'm from gone like the wind and a year numb. Pops said he'd give me money to get away from you he'd even give me his dog..... and I cried tears true. You're a loser. And I'm gone. Drunk whatever. I don't care come dawn. I'll be on a bus back home where I belong. |

Do what's good for you. This is a good poem, but I almost felt like I shouldn't have been reading it. Fall in love early, fall in love often. |

No Paul, my life is an open book, and you are very welcome to read it.  |

. "My life is cooking and laundry and cleaning and sex, I want to leave to where it's not so complex." We must take it then that you want to get back to that simpler time when the good things in life could be had in exchange for cooking and laundry and cleaning. How Marie Antoinette . . . . |

I'm very pleased to hear that you are heading home again dear Dixie. Dear old Dad will come to the rescue, all the very best in a new start. Good luck. Lindsay |

The danger in writing very intense, personel poetery is making it to much like a diary entry. It will be very intense but not very "poetic". I think you have just the right balance with this one. It is poetic enough to be enjoyed but intense enough to grab us with it's transparence. Nice work Zeitgeist. |

The 'common thread' through most of these 'writes' seems to be about marriage as an attempted escape from facing one's own demons [unfortunately, every form of refuge has its price] |
