"Get a Grip"

It's fake or is legit
Get a grip
Live or quit
You either do or don't give a s***

Just a dash...

Written echoes, of love so grand

Having fear makes it difficult to love anybody
Including yourself
This night two naked women scream splashing in glee
In a pool filled with autumn rains

I'll write of things lamentable like poor shipwrecked loves,
Tempest-tossed by bestial winds behind unfeeling storms;
Ripped apart by the furious middles of swift-gusting winds,
Voyaging to dream-born shores away from boring homes. 

I'll tell of the Fate-shattered...

Of Johnny Carson’s late-night show.
