The Other Shoe
The Other Shoe ~~~~~ In times which try you, foil your plans, do you hold on tightly, use both hands, sink ‘neath the waves, in deep despair? Hope anyone helps you; no one’s there. If days, weeks, years, the world stinks, you feel hopeless, know you’re jinxed. You see not a way to thrive or […]

Might Have Been
Might Have Been ~~~~~ Yes, we laugh at the family tortoise, find it funny they saunter so slowly. They have the same thoughts for us, so quickly gone, ere they know we.

Red Shifted

Time Alone
Time Alone ~~~~~ Are we contemplating our days of future past? Do we think anyone may remember us at last? Study us, analyze where, when, why we ended, find out how we died, greatness we pretended.

Into a Ball
Into a Ball ~~~~~ I know I want to always be clever or, at least, I want to appear to be. Not solely here, in every endeavor. wisdom over smarts, at least for me. I know, time tells what was thought of what I offered and I left behind. Won’t matter what I made, bought; […]
