S Greeh'Orm Papal'Arm

Sometimes I seem to muddle through* somehow but English "muddle" cannot outline a Russian sin split in two parts, a dao divided into yin and yang, a whine of lonely hummer in the lack of sickle, a German bread without pumpernickel, "Timon of Athens" in a glossy mag, enamoured Jupiter away from Io, the old good Middle West without Ohio, a suddenly inflated airbag. The Russian language differs. I stay steadfast to split my sins - an alcohol abuse, a sloth, a pride as well as bed and breakfast in half with you, my English-Russian muse. * (rus.) to do smth with a sin in half.

" lonely hummer in the lack of sickle, a German bread without pumpernickel," This part made me smile. I am wishing I could speak in accents, for I believe I would do better "understanding " this one, Kurt. Great rhyming!
