Premium Member Get a Word In
If I can’t get a word in edgewise, why would I bother trying any other way? My wife always finds a way to get a word, or two or more in.

Whom Thou Lovest
face down
again tonight
this time
of the sacred cathode
all white ways
when it glowed
free, electric

flat-line
when to destroy
is to
defy his last request
soulfully
all the best
or not at all

Godspeed
with hearts and stars
edgewise
hold high your smartest blade
whom thou lovest
thou betrayed
without question...

Speak My Peace
Let me please
Speak my peace
All ears
On me
All eyes
Because I never get a word out
Edgewise 
It’s not my place
To get in your face
Causing a big scene
Because you never bring your speech
To cease
To let your mouth
And mind 
Recline
But this time
I ask 
I plead
Please
Hear me out
While you stop
To breathe
Please
Let me 
Speak my peace...

                            rambling 
                        is all he does 
           when drunk, which is often;
    nothing he says ever makes sense.
 don't be surprised if he falls like timber...
      you won't get a word in edgewise.
              please, quit the bottle, sir!
                          an expert in 
                            rambling
