Practice Makes Perfect
They Say practice makes perfect, 
But I'm only practicing Emptiness

They say it's because of heartbreak
But really I haven't had the privilege, 
The only reason for my heartache 
Is I haven't played life's cribbage...

Premium Member Loneliness Lives Next Door
We learned about lonely people
At a tender impressionable age

Our neighbour was sixty or so
A widower leading a quiet life

Grand-father figure to us kids
We’d drop by visit the odd afternoon

It was dark and lacked life or joy
His little house felt smoky and cloistered

He taught us how to play cribbage
First sips of beer, cigarettes, silver coins

He seemed so painfully lonely
In his little house smoky and cloistered
