(The morning
I felt the sun
in the mode of Lip sync,
In feeling in me and my mom)

Etched upon stone that hangs on our tomb
When flowers no longer blossom and bloom

We shed divine spirit of faith for the flesh

Slipping into my silver-gray SUV
Nicknamed  " Sly Buster Cruiser”
I speed off down the rocky, off-highway road.
Twisting and reeling like my wired mind,
windows down, sunroof open,
(Annie Lennox groveling on the CD player),
reckless noon rays on...

I feel I have appendicitis,
Or a bad case of bursitis,
And I think I need another tonsillectomy.

You happen by.
That dark window,
knows your outside.

That house misses you!
There are the violets.
Once grown in...
