“Hey bud, How’s it going?” I asked “Just another Tuesday” he answered. I pondered just another Tuesday in a string of them yet to stretch forward and more stretching back and he as well as I were wondering what this one would bring. "There's a poem in those words" I replied. “You tired of talking to me?” he asked. “No bud.” I answered while the wheels turned and I ran a bit faster to keep ahead of the question I knew sooner or later he would ask me. Trying to outrun my own inadequate replies To smart mouth my way past the hints And turn always the words to him. “Seems you have something going on in your life.” There It was out there… explain myself how I loved A woman I couldn't quite connect with. Explain how I was a fool Tell about the fear… “Yeah, bud,.” It began, then poured out in condensed form Admitting I did not want to be thought the fool But was nonetheless for feeling the way I did. He laughed, then with a bit of heat said “you think I wanted to admit those things to you last week?” “I know bud… I’m not good at telling.” “I thought being a friend was more important than hiding things.” He replied with an almost audible sigh. “I’m sorry” I offered “So, write that Tuesday poem.” He said to me. Just another Tuesday Not really, Today I found a friend. |

"There's a poem in those words" I replied. Any day that this sentence is uttered is a good poem day... but especially when uttered on Tuesdays...  |

Trying to outrun my own inadequate replies To smart mouth my way past the hints And turn always the words to him. There are too many great lines in this to quote. The above is just one part that struck a nerve with me perhaps because I know this all too well... Just another Tuesday? Nah, not after reading this piece. Patricia Patricia |

Yeppers! You were absolutely 'write'! There was a poem in those words! I feel like I'm eavesdropping on a personal conversation--but there's no guilt involved!  Warm hugs, EA |

That's funny, Tuesday's been my favorite day for years. Ever since this girl and I used to spend the day together at this little restaurant by Highland Park in B'ham.....but that's another story.  Now, about you having a friend. I don't know about all that. Seems to me he'd have to be damn near a saint or maybe a bit 'touched'.  |

how I loved "someone" I couldn't quite connect with. Explain how I was a fool Tell about the fear… boy do I know that one...it does help to have a friend..even if all you get out of it is an "I told you so...." You are so good at telling these stories... ~smiling hugs~ M |

I think this is so pure...a slice of reality in poetic form. Happy Tuesday. Let's hope Wednesday is just as good.  |

Hey Dunc...perhaps what you said the first time, y'know? But if that's "touched", then I wish I'd get whomped...in order to write like this. |
