Iambe put the book face down and stared at its spine as if she waited for it to wriggle off the table or to simply disappear while she watched. I saw the small frown begin as lines in the corners of her mouth then transform into a bit of a puckered downturn telling me she disapproved of something she had read and I was going to hear about it probably in the same breath as she reminded me of the things she didn't like in me. I tried to rise quietly and slip out the door before she spoke but, her eyes left the supine book to pin me butterfly like against the wall as she began to talk. "This story", she began, "Is stupid" My hand couldn't quite reach the door knob from the place she had skewered my arms with the daggers shot from eyes now intensely annoyed "How so?" I asked knowing better but still having the question driven out of my throat as the weight of what this would lead to landed square on my chest. "It's like you." She continued 'Impossible" then turned, picked the crippled book from the table and placed it back on the shelf and began looking for another I noticed the strand of hair that fell on her face and knew impossible fit well |

Impossible? Not sure that is possible... Oh sometimes I am so reluctant to put my thoughts to paper as surely it will convince "them" that I am not all there... You are the master, Ron...and I thank the higher power that you are my friend...and that you write... ![]() "if you won't let me fall for you |

If you are Impossible then I am just ornery incarnate Cpat. Love the poem. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Always a million miles out there, and home, at the same time. Now that is impossible.. Except for the exception. Bravo, for defying the laws. |

Certainly not on this point! ![]() But then, I enjoy impossible.... |

Ron...it is this way of yours, of seeing into the emotions between people, that makes your writing so appealing. Well done! |
