Please note the date on this one...it's not today  Virginia Salter I must be a manic/depressive that really must be what I am I spent the morning euphoric and now I’m having the bends. Early hours were so elating, I spent them walking ‘round town on my dogs I mean the feet at the end of my legs not that four legged thing that jogs. Then during lunch I received a sad note asking me please to amend the words that I spoke, meaning only a joke not really intent to offend. There was a shell in my salad and my sink’s clogged again, yet again my fingers are overly active they seemed to be driven to sin. Running off at the fingers is too like a loose tongue a cannon with powder to spend I’m sad and remorseful for the things I have done having said that, guess this is the end. Oh, no, I have lied for I’m carrying on words I’m recalcitrant to end like words that have leapt off the tongue and the lips these will go out when I press send. So, please, if ye be an acquaintance or if ye be a true friend, if I’ve said things that hurt your ego or heart forgive my loose lips and rein in your ships then erase my name from the chart. © June 7, 2000 |

Thanks, all, you are so sweet! Yes, be it written a year ago or every day, it can always come in handy as a reminder or a warning to myself how powerful words and actions can be and how possibly fragile their targets. See you in the other place, now, I guess. |

you know what might be kind of sad, I don't recall in the slightest what prompted this poem, so am I doomed to repeat it? oh, gosh, I hope not, it's a long poem I know it didn't happen at PIP, cuz I didn't come here until November of 2000 |
