Scissors Man

The box of tissues by my bed
To sneeze or not to sneeze

Unless your foot has fallen off or you are bloody
Does a bloody nose count?

When your heart is heavy

Hard candy filled the tin beside Mom’s purse
Gray mournings, nature’s gifts for those who grieve
At times when it seems nothing could be worse

Their overalls are straight, their tails are a wagg’n.

ONE MAN'S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE
