my American dream ... my American dream wakes me without notice she grabs me by the head crushing me towards her bulging breasts begging my suckle the milk is sweet laced with stars and stripes fresh cream fills my cup bulbous sacs of gelatinous latte rich beyond endurance richer before poorer the natural laxative working overtime as i run to foul every space i occupy no more -- race over somebody burp me M.A. Miller 07.31.00< !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

well, Mark, not actually ... i just found out that an offer we put in on a house wasn't accepted and i was thinking about what it must be like to have money you didn't know what to do with (the American dream) ... then i realize that that must not be that great either (hence to malodorous scatological reference at the ending) ... sorry for the cryptology ... thanks for reading and your kind words ...

Sometimes the American dream is just too rich, and peace doesn't live there...This was a great read! |

The real American dream lies deep within your own well adjusted happiness. |

Mark-Came back to read with more of a poets mind this time. I must have been in brain shutdown.LOL Actually it is still beautiful but I do now see from where it came. Just thought I would give it a second go. Thanks |

Cryptic or not (though during the read, I admittedly "hoped" for cryptography) this is expressive and succinctly written ~ Nice. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
