Whatever my fate was going to be,
My dog, my hero would be with me,
If he was in terror it did not show,
I was the weak one that I know.

Last year around this time,
We were all watching, waiting although it was Super white.
And then Leo won(finally, the academy being relieved of that atrocious crime).

Rolling them over and over and over

Leaving this reality behind, far behind

Nervous Hands

	Did you know nervous hands can cause problems?
	Let me tell you, folks, I know they can!
	Hear my tale of a fidgety woman

Thousand narrations to same story
Every day a new story

Hidden remains the agenda of brokers

Families hushing 
Around crackling transistors, 
Like the sound of rushing 
And muffled whispers,
And all the ghosts enter 
Through a heart-shaped door
Where a nervous presenter 
Is announcing war. 

Post cards and kit bags
Are...

Or do you as well

Watch the commercials on T.V

And wonder exactly what on earth

Or are you like me somehow think

Downy petals flow malleable

Sturdy stems golden scented center
