Fiery lions…
They're dancing with me
Sunlight…
Come out and shine down

In one sense I was caught between two poles apart concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish
difficult decision.
A decision that may...

to the missus July 25th, 1996
after the comma error
punctuated mein kampf with disequilibrium.

attributed to one

slowly glazing the rags of gray women chagrined
at the sight of a hair fleeing tresses now thinned)
