Without my volition, and despite intentions, goals;

It’s 5am it’s cold this morn,
Black as night I am forlorn,

I reckon some folks prefer a hound dog lyin' at their feet,

Lived  a white ant pestered man,

And bolted it out of the door.

A valentine’s day ode


For all my bashful valentines
Who love me but can’t share it
