This is for the guy who reads me, not so religiously but tells me I am genius "because" he says, "because" he sees my tears before they do begin clouds within a pupil dim and distances are measurements rulers are the gods of sky and goddesses, recipients, as I propose hypothesis: "There, but for the grace, go I..." Mathematics Sciences cunning linguists and lies are history on the page. Formulatic chaos is a rubick's cube of all sides same-- disregard the coloring twist the squares maintain a fist remember that the first one is later to be last...and laugh indenting all the paragraphs when you must explain the path of a right-turn-left-turn twist (and don't forget the upside-down) This is for the guy who reads nothing up my sleeve y'see? I'm a genius, genuine-- wanna buy some property? (I could sell you New Orleans) for a pittance if we had pittances as an exchange-- and geniuses are all deranged but I'm guessing you knew that- A guess? I cackle--"genius!" Never ask a question that you don't know the answer to... (and yes, I knew that too.) |

Only two men come to mind, three actually . . . Bob Dylan (he knows where ya are, where ya been and maybe not where you are going) A viking (a mad one, at that, whose ship is always docked at your port, m'Lady) A yeti (who shares your heart and mind and part of your spirit) The reason Dylan came to mind is because whenever I listen to Dylan, man, he makes me see myself and I don't always like that but its needed. He reaches right in and grabs ya, shakes ya awake and says Listen! I just have ta say this one thing . . . |

"Formulatic chaos is a rubick's cube of all sides same-- disregard the coloring twist the squares maintain a fist remember that the first one is later to be last...and laugh indenting all the paragraphs when you must explain the path of a right-turn-left-turn twist (and don't forget the upside-down)" -------------------------------------------- "Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'." I see the connection, Little wing.... A poem like this can only come out of adversity, from one who has met its challenge...has bobbed to the surface, and came out swinging her pen. One who knew if she didn't start "swimmin' ", that she would "sink like a stone..." As Dylan pointed out, earlier in his poem/song. This reply is from a guy...(probably not as well as the one of which you speak...) that always reads you... |

Sheesh I thougth for sure it was God himself! Being off the wall in a sort of perplex sort of way, I started singing, "Amazing Grace" but yes I do know who Dylan is. I know, I know, I'm cute right? You do amaze me though - that coffee of yours and a pen - whew - what a combination! You sort of have to "splain" this one to me, but I liked it! Carpe' Diem |

Serenity...Very disguising poem. Sometimes we become the poem we write and somtime the poem becomes us without even knowing it. There is a lot of genius in your poetry mixed with a little magic sometime, which keeps the reader intrigued and trying to figure you out, which is what I like most about your poetry...Enjoyed very much...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

oh... I hope I am not so difficult to understand. That thought kind of amplifies my loneliness. sheesh I thought I was being playful--wince--no??? the rubick's cube? sigh...it's just a formula yanno. Anyone can learn it. The trick is to just follow the formula--wince again--it's mathy stuff I can't explain. Thank you all for reading me-- I know I am perplexity and no it's not deliberate it's simply my equivilent of y times o and integers are lives within parenthesis and those they must be solved at first before there's sum lucidity... ? I thank you all. Damn. I did it, yet again. I should take to clouds. |

"and what's in the parenthesis' is what must be solved first.." is exactly what I was thinking as I read it! (in the reply). Sometimes, I do get it!!! Love you lady. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

And your words sing a timeless song which reach into the very marrow of the human skull. Left or right brained, this is a marvelous write. Enjoyed. JL |

One of my favorites! It is so truly you, at least the you I know (all of them are, but this one is so personal, like you are face to face with God, or perhaps, the counterpart of you). And, of course, your "Erma" is shinning right through. ....jo |
