Am I your mission?
In your eyes,

Why did you let go of everything you once had?
It’s okay to have a new start; on the otherhand, it’s not bad
They...

But there's nothing I can do,
We could never work out
Until you learn to love you

In the grill, under the hood
The switch was below the dashboard

Les C. More back from the vay-cay holidays,
giving my poetry peeps
a look-see at an odd Klondike meet

That short con grifter grin
spin tall tales...

Sprawled beside more wire and metal sheets
While real cat
Possesses Master's...
