The Impact

Arising from my humble home on the Lower East Side I send out my messages Intending to trouble the "wise and the great" with my words Icy winds will soon be blowing here but the words keep coming They - As I said - are reaching the brains of the "wise and the great" What impact they will have is known to none Once you are out there you are "EXPOSED"

I sure like this one, matt. How are YOU in NY right now? It must be very strange there.

Most of the times the wise and the great arent themselves. Great thought, Matthew. Thanks for stopping by at my page :)

Just the sort of write to do Matthew, a joy to read you this morning. How are you coping there? I wish Gods blessing on you through the storm and beyond."

Once they are out there, one can't bring those words back for sure..Someone would remember what was said in print or orally spoken..Enjoyed reading your work..It is a great topic and good presentation..Thanks for stopping by my work..We are on the outer edges of the storm but I don't know if Sandy is causing the wind here or if it is because of the jet stream being located where it is or if it is a combination..Sara
