a citizen of perpetual want
 
yet

you carry within your heart a kingdom, 
a kingdom, you very...

What I might ignore,
What I assume I ignore,
What I doubt that I ignore, and
What I know that I ignore,

As well as

What I might know,

What I doubt that I know, and
What I know, that I know,

I tell, to follow, that long trait before
We reached the  back foot of the tower tall,
Our eyes went up to the top core

For two little flames we saw install,
And another responding from so far
That barely I perceived being so small.

And I turned my face...

I found my life path
Leading straight to your heart.
You left me gaping without any clue.
I've never seen one so true!

In a world where only us exist;
Your charms I find hard to resist....

Some were quick because I tend to bore and some took days upon my board
as my mind remembers and bask back...

JOURNAL VIII

This old woman –
It’s always a woman
–
Looking out a window
Why not a man?
No      he’s on the
front porch smoking
his pipe

This ancient     
deep in thought
Looking out a
summery window
Is it always summer?
Yes    ...

SHE'S WET - VIII

At times I wonder why I miss her
and the times I use to kiss her
her dentures were always set
