I Don'T Wanna Know

More than once you’ve talked about how calming it would be to simply pack the things you love the most and -- move away, Claiming nothing short of this will work to set you free from all the things that pressure you --- that make you feel this way. But there’ve been times when I have felt the same, and - let me say - despite the fact that you and I have not that long been friends - Consider well what -- up ‘til now -- it is that’s made you stay… and think of those who’ll suffer if your nearness to them ends. There’s something special - something warm - in staying around the town that holds the mem’ries - good and bad - that represent your youth, So -- in those situations where you’re really “feeling down” - I hope, with all my heart, you’ll find the strength to face the truth. How often does this ‘move” thing fail? I’ll wager more than not, but if and when it gets to where you simply - have to go… Now that you’re are among the sweetest friends that I have got… I’m hoping you’ll make sure that I’m the very last to know. PS: I've now got 4 new Audio-CDs - @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diversely varied pieces). They’re listed on EBAY - under - “Mark Stellinga Poetry” - or available by simply contacting me at -- mark@writerofbooks.com -- should those of you who enjoy listening to poems as well as reading them - and particularly those of you that travel - care to be so entertained.
