What love have we?
What are we to do?
When I say that I love you,
Do you love me too?
What do you see in me?
Who am I to you?
A part of your crew?
Or a part of a broken knee, plea, easy to do...
It was NOT my best, even when I wore a vest.
Shot to the heart was a start a la carte,
Still, I would love any smidgeon of some time with you to party!
Like a pigeon or a pest, like the rest, either one of us could nothing less,
We caressed each other at one point, I put the joint down and passed my test,
I wish you would Joina me my messy bestie. I love you more than all of the rest!
Holly from Ohio,
Grey hair long,
The lines of your life draw a map upon your face of a life lived to the fullest.
Smoking early morning away with your cup of coffee in the Dallas sunrise and sweet Texas air.
My new friend of Ohio Blue Jackets blood,
History lessons abound,
the hot Texas sun casts its steaming light upon us.
Grandkids, Fathers, Mothers, Life's twists and turns.
Great cup of Coffee with my new friend Holly from Ohio.
Off to the flight,
Not yet.....DELAYED
DFW style with an EWR choke hold.
Alan, Pharma-Manufacturer, comes in...
He parks next to me...
we realize as we look at the board we are both caught in the nightmare travel world of
"not canceled",
"Only Delayed",
65 Shaved head
clean southern drawl,
Alan from Fort Worth. Stuck at DFW
We Grab a beer, we talk about kids, Grab another beer, Talk about our wives his ex...Grab the third and fourth beers, where I tell him I'm still married...to which he states "Stay that way kid"
Boarding time now....tab paid
Lonely travel avoided me on this business trip. Holly from Ohio with her long grey hair and Alan from Ft Worth, a happy southern man.
I get up in the morning, jump into the shower,
Wash my hair, brush my teeth in a quarter hour,
Make the coffee, put on clothes, check the mobile phone,
Take my meds, pet the dog, and throw my wife a bone,
Wednesday is the busiest, recycle and the trash,
Collecting it, tying it, completed in a flash,
Coffee creamer, straw in lid, goin’ out the door,
On the road, to first stop, a little after four,
Client’s house, DFW, several times a day,
Back and forth, with eyes closed, my car knows the way,
When drivin’ done, paper work, it must be complete,
Invoice this, total that, a monumental feat,
Kiss the bride, little TV, climb into the bed,
Lotsa work, but don’t ya think, better’n be’n dead!
