forgive me please
a simpleton
for speaking on these things
above
the level of my competence
I trace the letterings of love
within the words of legalese
lemonjuice invisable
spotting pools divisable
rendering a poet blind
listening
to one quill scratch
etchings
in the papyrus--

(forgive me please?)
I'm not done yet...

someone slay another tree
and give to me the empty scrolls
just so I can re-write me
all done so conveniently

transference

of arts beheld

is mine...

as I beg roots to free,
allowing force of gravity
toppling
top-heavy - free!

"I'll make the evening news..."

curtsey

smiling sweet
"forgive me please"

I am just a simpleton.

I wonder sometimes if we were to rewrite ourselves, how much different would we really be and would we lose sight of who we really are? Here's to only minor edits!

Thank the heavens, and Ron, for the blue pages....

"I am just a simpleton....."

Gives me pause, cause I don't quite believe it...unless, of course, it refers to a less complicated witch. *smile*

I myself am glad for "Notepad," memory, and cd roms...
I'd have cleared forests otherwise.
But a simpleton? naw... dream on!
This is an awesome write.

you DO know how cool this is, right?

save the trees baby...no need for rewrites...youre doing fine...just fine.

I love you more the further I go ...
before this existence ... you were always here inside of me.

Thanks all for reading, and please know that it just annoys me to no end to be unable to reciprocate at this time.

I would much rather be here, than, um, here.

sigh.

Hugs to all.

and thanks again.
