Premium Member I Practically Ran From This Psychic

I love a psychic fair; I doubt anyone loves them more than I.
There are readers of all shapes and sizes. You pay money to be read.
Some of them are spot on, others are a waste of sixty dollars.
I never know.

At one psychic fair, I pointedly avoided a woman wearing all white.
She had on a white hat too, and I practically ran from her.
Two of my children were as drawn to her as I was repulsed.
They reported I had to go see her.

She smiled when I approached. 
I felt your energy when you came in, she told me.
I actually looked up and I instantly knew who you were.
I sat down, and somehow knew her too.

You were my teacher in a past life, she told me.
Now I can be yours. This made sense in some way.
I began taking psychic classes from her.
it was the start of a new development in my soul development.

Practically New

i placed a for
sale ad in the
newspaper
with only X
amount of
words in
order to
describe
the item
intended

i bought it
in the winter
of my old age
thinking i can't
wait much
later but
spring
came
and i
felt

much better so
much better that
i wanted to sell
that which was 
a reminder
of unkind
days
and
of
at

the worst of times
sleepless nights
but now i had
to dwell on
thoughts
again in
order to
word
that
just

right so that just
the right person
would purchase
that which i
had done
so down
on paper
i wrote
what i
wanted

that would make 
a done deal rock 
solid never used
as if brand
new a one
of a kind
hand
crafted
tombstone
just for you if 

your
name is
Methuselah


Practically Perfect In Every Way But Cant Fly

Small is her soul but from within a light that burned the sun
The power of the sun surrounded by a burning universe
could not compare to the simplest twinkle 
from those emerald guards of life
The moons pulls towards her face to hide within every pore
And nature rests its head in peace
As it views its perfect art

Practically Inanimate

They say I'm inanimate and hardly ever move,
mostly hang out, eat, sleep 20 hours and occasionally poop,
that want me to entertain,
they must all be insane,
Hey I'm a sloth and thats all I can do!

Happens Practically

When action spreads happens practically


Practically Insane

I'm practically insane...


Sipping on an empty hope

Swallowing an empty dream

Wandering in an empty thought

Tempted in an empty lust
