If you do or if you don’t, ~Damned~ and either way it’s OK, for it will go as it must. Life. Slip sliding one day merrily cavorting capriciously playing life’s melodies when suddenly the band hits a sour note ~Discord~ but you dance to the tune anyway, for what else can you do? Take other options? Are they viable? I prefer to face forward into a freezing rain, let the precious refreshing waters of life pour over me until I am a saturated still-life, drenched from all that the expansive skies offer and still, still I beg for more and you know very well I am willing to be damned to Hell, or not, as the case may be and I’ve never cared one way or the other how it all ends up... it eventually ends up wherever it must but I don’t wish to live forever on any planet where the inhabitants forever sacrifice all that is beautiful, all that is innocent all that is...God Damn, but I am damned if I do or don’t anyway, so sometimes I simply say NO! NO! NO! I won’t! NO! I won’t abide by this or that or the other, I will not silently slide into your tidy four-cornered pocketbook version of life. And I refuse to count your petty cash. |

Never let it be said that your aim on the solar plexi of your readers is off. What a treat to read your thoughts. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
