Overheard On Mt RushmorePicture this: Mt. Rushmore

Than pay the price of candor;
For oft when people...

The Cat and the Dog (An Overheard Conversation)"My word," said the cat,"you certainly do stink.
Methinks water's for bathing, not just to drink!"
"Retract those sharp claws," the dog stifled a yawn,

cat wrinkled his nose...

I OverheardI overheard harsh words
between two lovers next door,
each bearing shields
of mistrust and pride

of words I never spoke
‘I love you’....

Inches apart, separated by a barrier of eye, nose, lips and listening holes that they call ears.
