The Nights Were Filled With Arguments

the nights were filled with arguments new jersey had a new prostitute spring and true love, drunken moments soon mutable to the crashing of objects against the walls, the doors freedom thru defenestration how was i supposed to read and write i would bang on the wall hey, Quasimodo, pax vobiscum, remember mans sana in copre sano this is heaven here on earth try Occam's razor for god's sake there would be a knock on the door Quasi had returned my Beethoven's fifth earphones, boom box i loved his courtships he used to walk, talk and breathe his next conquest the ones he could convince to leave the profession gifts in tow, he would stop by, well you're irresistible Quasi she hasn't a chance need money, a few lines in Spanish anything for a fellow kamikaze it was worth the silence i could hear him above my own roar my only wish was to teach him pick on the tourists, they leave upon his victorious return, the inevitable he would pull the bed back far enough from the wall to get the banging effect he needed gave her hell didn't i, he would say and the inevitable always brought the war month, sometimes more, and they would have found a new patron of the bottle art but new jersey took one seriously doing his life in Mexico what is it like to love a woman to death i don't care to know what a horrible thought it is much easier waving goodbye to buses no jail time, no funeral expenses Playa Hermosa 92 The Patient Stones

You bring alive the characters you describe in this poem as you paint the scenes. I can imagine the drunken moments--crashing--ready for next conquest--through your words. Some have no choice--some choose the lifestyle. True but sad!

Pray for your enemy...I sit here wondering If Jews did this in the ghetto? I wonder if I can forgive our gov for forcing us to live in fear! Covid ghettos.ugh! I have known murderers, happy as clams. No clue they were cracked.and friends who hung or shot themselves. Thus, I learned to not hide my feelings.I studied Latin for four years. Nothing as beautiful as Latin Mass. Pope declared anyone who likes Latin Mass, is from the Devil! A bit cracked. Quite a brilliant write, Tim Pangie

ah Sara, it is only part of the story, she perished from rough sex. it is said your true family is not always blood, she was like a sister to me....Quasi was my introduction into forgiveness...he gave me the wisdom of Jesus, pray for your enemy...i still do...in fact in counseling i encouraged this, many found that doing that took away any anger at their very thought of someone...thank you for your visit.
