Fantastic verse! Excellent work! Initially, there is a groaning in the stomach upon ingesting, and then the vertigo sets in. David, I'm hoping you had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays. I hope that 2023 treats you well.

Right back at you Lasaad, we live every day as if it’s our last, for one day we’ll be right: this one sums me up believing some poems to be factual, only to find out they are fictional on further inquiry, cheers David

The only excuse for bad art is that the artist strongly believed in his creation--Oscar Wild ~If sincere though, give him a break.

This one is actually all about me being fooled by some poems and believing them to be true, just like the placebo pill, sugary, dummy, and fake, are all plays on the placebo word itself, so if anything it’s giving praise for making me believe some poems to be real, only to find out in fact they were fictional, this one is designed to give the placebo effect, the joke is always on me, great quote by Wilde Anaya! cheers David

Hopefully he didn’t suffer too much Tom, he was a sound guy, with a big heart and a top class poet!
