And now… The words no longer as sharp Just imbedded Deep in flesh of mind “With that attitude you will never have any friends.” A lobotomy of words Sections thrown away With a sickening “plop” Like raw meat on a specimen tray “Your Navy moved us here. That’s why I can’t find a job.” Leaving a void Where other things should be Yet better Than the intentions of break “Hey college girl, you’re so smart, you going to leave me and make a new start?” A hole or whole It makes no difference Because I am still here And you are long gone “No one else has a problem, So it must be you.” Your thesaurus is tainted With green And you know the truth My silence frightens you “Cheater” The answers? I do have friends My Navy paid the bills College girl has left the building Then you shouldn’t miss me And the last? Hurt me, and I hurt back |

Grrrrr... I KNOW this dialogue. "“Hey college girl, you’re so smart, you going to leave me and make a new start?” I think I just got mad all over again.  (but...breathe...me gotta watch that temper of mine!)  This one CUT straight through, Susan. |

Susan - you did write this one well. It seems at times they can never figure it out until it's too late... BC |

Bill, Thank you. Some never figure it out...those are the ones that have to be cut out, completely and forever. Susan |

Being just a boy.. I don't really understand.. thus...I will refrain from that conversation But I liked: "A lobotomy of words Sections thrown away With a sickening “plop” Like raw meat on a specimen tray" That made me think crazy images. Jai |

Some sunny person directed me to this... unfortunately, folk like this are too well known to too many smart people - what happened was we let love get in the way of our smarts. Well done, Susan... |

"if you want to see your dreams come true....don't sleep." "Love is grand, divorce is a hundred grand" "The last time I was inside a woman was when I went to the statue of liberty. "Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience." "It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing poetry, but I couldn't give it up...Balladeer showed up and I'd become too famous." "What the world needs now is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left." |
