Behind a mask < !signature-->daily dramas ever engaging behavior. Attempting an interface with the mind through passages of grief. Especially since an amount of time has elapsed. Your to the point of being grieved even by sensitive consolations and compassion's within the wells of other peoples’ thoughtless insights which they’ve conveniently arranged into memorized, thought provoking sagacities, which they feel an irresistible urge to project at you on the behalf of pities sake, how sweet. After all it’s all been so neatly arranged & conveniently dropped on your tiring worn sole as you search for some grateful words that scream, I mean seemed, to have just escaped you. So, you white—wash a sigh... in an effort not to show any glimpses of your hearts ungratefulness, however your real inspiration is to say “why don’t you just ****off"! but instead, to keep the conversational tone interesting and sex—tasteless, not to mention mangling some body else's folk-loring mythological emotions, you hide your maze a little deeper and grit your teeth a little harder while angrily saying with a smile, “thank—ka U very much,” while all the thirsty time your thinking of saying “that’s it, I’m outta here.” Instead... Your pondering mind begins to wonder why they’re so in-quisitive of your down heartedness. You search for something insightfully insignificant but are instead are interrupted by these intersperses of “slimy” dry poignant articulately propelled humors from out of the side of someone’s red neck which you follow with a smile because one of the wander—clustered idiots is flashing some scientifically intellectual witty jargons. Yet howbeit, the women who are present are nodding but surely don’t understand a word that’s been said, as either do you, so they return to, and carry on a conversation about other worlds in which their hearers know or could ever know anything of not to mention ever understand. While returning to your—so senseless ponderings “when..!” suddenly everyone is standing up and shaking hands with each other, smiling, flashing crooked sympathetic questioning frowns and saying “we’ll see ya later and do this all again soon.” You wonder, why..? Maybe possibly you hurt somebody's fragile tactless schizophrenic dual personality... After which, every one was gone. You decide it may be a good ider if you take your own blood pressure and pulse just to see how your doing. Wow..! 190 over 133, your pulse is at an all time low of 49. You suddenly wonder how much more you’ll have to give, I mean live. Oh well, one stroke, two pokes, electric thrills, three pills, wham! asleep on a cluttered hill. Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. -Marge Tindal [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 11-16-2000).] |

lucky...sometimes you are so real...and it hurts to see even myself through your eyes...as people just try and sometimes don't suceed in being human, or perhaps suceed too well....compassion comes from being there. |

This is a very deep and introspective poem. Well written, and poignant. [This message has been edited by Rosemary J. Gwaltney (edited 11-16-2000).] |
