Approximately three plus days elapsed...
without yours truly experiencing urge to defecate

Neither bloating nor constipation
arose, but one nondescript anguished

ingested three Dulcolax tablets
and subsequently...

"Chaos Theory"



The Message is sent on a breeze
Fire eats the wounds of a Mother

All over pure and white, all over plain and bright,
we're inborn peace embracers, true tranquility tracers.

Are myths, as scrutiny will reveal.

In England, King Arthur never ruled.

But others who are real...

A Summer Song

admiring its charm and grace.
It was a cold morning,

There are brushes with death that we all have I’d guess
That survivors don’t notice (their eyes on the future,
Not bridges they’ve crossed.) Spans collapse with lives lost
That might well have been yours but for giftings...

Even the Chihuahua came running 
With tail tucked and in a...
