all paths the gull flies, and in his

A thousand white shells in the mist

You reconsider

Valentine's Day 2021

Yours truly not necessarily
romantic fellow at heart
more accurately methinks myself
lame and inadequate sorry excuse
for reasonably rhyming spouse,
but courtesy after sipping

Let’s talk numbers

I talk one language, need no more. This world
Needs but one thing. A number line
Digressing time,
And all the things within. 
Poetic sigh as freedom cries. Creative

You celebrate this win.
Stats, figures,...

ample farms of crops
unknown

to Dijon up from
Paris

could have been just
any place


City of Light still
inspires

six story limit

Into a horror movie

Why, though it could beat
Even the serial killer! 

Oh it gets even past 
locked doors
Through the tiniest of

Though I’m not Humpty Dumpty, I’ve had a great fall

Ever convince people I’m honest again?
