I Jumped up suddenly out of my bed
With Jack the ripper spinning in my head
And the word cabinet kept floating in my bed
I had a very serious message to deliver
But I don't know who to...

waiting for a visit with my acupuncture ecotherapist.

While waiting to be invited in next,
I took a chair

Going beyond Passover
Pettiness and greed always gave off a bad odor

Woke up this morning
With news headlines spawning
I do not know if it's winter yet

In the Caribbean Sea,
Rain comes once a year,
Sure does sound like ecstasy.
It’s not in travel brochures,

COMPUTERS AND BINARY CODES

Pain in the neck
Neck with a bolt

Beach beyond reach
Reach for the stars
Reach for the sky
Sky brilliant blue
Sky high for you
