of what you might be doing

while rushing around
and hurrying,

But I am not insecure, and just vaguely jealous,

and if rightly connected
I could be very zealous

to watch you...

With books (and children) all put in their place

A view transformed to more exotic space

If, by chance, the world should end tomorrow
How would you spend the last day of your life ~~

Come from you but wind up in my heart....

I've been going through
Old poetry, my own, a motley 
Collection like a dusty attic piled with 
Rumpled rhyme schemes
