winds demur...

telling me
that nothing returns
as it was before...

here where you have...

I (a youthsome, wholesome, jokesome, handsome,...
gamesome, chucklesome, bothersome,
and awesome modest fellow)...

And I don’t know how to deal
With this shame somehow

With this...

"Fraudulent"



A writer writes of people 
walking lonely dark streets
begging for bread, shelter and cold without all

trudging up and downhill knocking on doors 
that judgmentally remain closed after glimpsed twigging -

Victorious flirtatious foreplay

I awoke early - now my body will sleep,
though thoughts rise like the Azores
of snuggling next to such an adorable atomic

Today we hear Positive Psychology is hot.
To not agree is to be both negative,
and a snot;
too cognitively dissonant
arrogant
and dino-snore-a-lot.

When your loved one tells you,

Your drinker's doom
Turned out to be a tranquil tomb
