For those who might...

your nausea-inducing antics. 

But mostly we talked about 
lengths and heights and widths...

Peculiar reading men's mind set,
To look at things round in surround,
To look at things in rectangular in all angles,
Drawing lines self exiling in their own homes,
Rings,bangles,clocks,even roti and their eating plates,

Teetering on the edge of the cliff
Tipping the scale in my favor
Looking down, my stomach twists
All food has lost its flavor.
My broken spirit drowns in the abyss
This number is my identity

to give our God a priceless praise.

Its hinges must have closed some dismal weather out.
