as they often happen the right end of things seat themselves next to the wrong ones when that proverbial slip of the slithering tongue elicits the fire of jealousy that lurks around lustingly like brisk green eyes of some twin-hooded serpent then it must be in luck that the shapes of things are decided whether: being round and bubbly or being square and straight -- is the right way to be! how often do I find myself at the right place at the wrong time like a shape-shifter moving through membranes of doubt and most often than not a touch of a second too late! it is not about getting old, but the lack of a reflex that comes naturally to some speak-easy fortunate lives with someone like me, the right end of things seems to arrive much later after sifting through reflections that gleam off a ripple-filled lake like a brooding farmer guessing the right time to sow so as to reap a good harvest if only to realise that the right time was then and that later would be always a touch too late |
