I don't like him, but I loved him once. The Evil Mickey Mouse of Disney Land. He only came around in Guilt, seeking To release his convictions, sore From Looking at others with their daughters. When his Little Princess was home, crying Begging to know what castle he ran to. She is Cinderella now, wispy and crystal Clear of pain. Her glass slipper, now Combat boots of individuality, kicking Butt, to society's stereotyping. Gracefully. What would she possibly need, or see In a Cartoon Character, smirking Behind his suit of armor. The Cheshire Grin of fake. He never once sang to her The "Now's the time to say good-bye" song He just ran his big floppy feet away. But we went on. I must have done something Right, or else she would have been Sleeping Beauty, for today, what she said Was, Fake people drown, in their own Disguises. So I take it, I don't have To wish I were a Giant Gumby anymore. Erasing him from the next screen. He'll just smother in his Mickey Suit. She is wise. |

Too many wascals drop what they think is the bomb of birth and run from the explosion of life. Caricatures of cartooned creatures who forget the responsibilty of fatherhood. Enjoyed and glad she's so strong. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

Dear Regina, I am so glad you have your writing to escape with, your mind has caught so many images and thoughts over the years, we are the lucky ones to catch the images through you words, (intense and slightly scary that a cartoon charactor can bring these images to ones mind and stay for so many years). You keep us all wondering of the next to come. Stay well. Rick |
