Barb Farley Poet I do not know?

Enough

Fire breathing,
clenched teeth
tongue tied
I have had enough of his drug induced indifference.
Can't speak.......off with the ringer.
He says he isn't like the other druggies...
he must be special
how 'bout the one who died today 
but was resucitated twice? 
He wasn't like the others either...
Clearly he was special.
Enough of the pity party 
There are more than just you hurting on this big lonely rock.
Get over yourself man!

Daver Austin August 28, 2008 at 4:38 AM Great write, Bob. This friend of mine says, "I hate my husband-he's an alcoholic." "So am I," says I. "Oh, but you're different." She smiles. "Like hell I am!" I reply. You nailed it, Bob...booze and drugs....no good. Love, Daver
