you’ve so much in common
with that worn easy chair...
both of you stained
by dark indiscretions

like two Misers, thieving
every nickel and dime
as though hard cash
could soften depressions

======================

very very cool tw .. and deep ...
clever employ of title, metaphor, analogies,
and imagery...
as well as lesson in succinctity.
well done poet

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be

tradewind,

Very deep thoughts here. Wonderful expression. Makes you think!
