Loiter with wonder
Feel falling slumber

    slide
   glide
just

Intricate constellations
Lay on my path
Unseen black hole
Invisible to the naked eye

I received many get well cards
When I returned to work.

My favorite one said, “Mrs. K, 
Congratulations on your new baby.”

But of course, it was one of the
32 that weren’t....

When freed from her enforced lockdown
So alone at three
And could not get free
Her fortitude deserves a crown!*

Too bad I cannot still see them...

the definitive knowing
by which everything is known

as self-referral consciousness 
renewing itself in itself
we live in clover

And no one in the world can make that decision for you.
No matter what happens in life, you can always turn the page
And become someone who creates their very own point of view....

Live lively lot as bubbly bounce;
A telling thought makes motion wild,

We do it for money
One day at a time, till we are 65
Rewarded with a paycheck
Killing ourselves doing It all of our lives
If we are lucky we love what we do
Nothing to show if we don’t do it 
Green is all we have to show for years of our lives sweated away...

But Lions roar that's just too bad
