                                  to shield from Covid 19.

the kind used with the eyes
but in this path of life
with all of its joy and strife
therer's higher purpose in disguise...

About how life can always seem so unfair for us all,
As long as I have inner strength to continue to bear it all....

Welcome all you morally impaired 

Where men are men and the sheep are scared

Though I can't help but think 

How much you'd have to drink

To forget what many others dared...

Clever in my literacy 
Impaired in my itinerary 
Noted for variety 
Daunting in my propriety 
A jaunting of notoriety 
For wanting serenity 
exempted from purity
Quaint in obscurity...

Trump Became Mentally Impaired

About anyone at all Trump never cared,
And he has become mentally impaired;
To world blow,
We do know;
All those around to death surely scared.

My Arizona buddy says he sees only grey hair
Also shiny domes which cause quite a glare
Poor soul whatta shame
Must cause JJ to exclaim
Looking in a mirror, “my eyesight's impaired”!...

It’s quite sweet to be with her
Her height will bring me a blur
Growing tall a mystery
Short, she’s a puppy

   when the wallpaper walks
   and the floor
   pulls the wind out of you

Pulling energy
  Fervor from Heaven above
    Impaired by her thorns
     Faint memories of her past-
       Forgiveness is all Rose asks.

Good, or a trouble-maker;
Smart; mentally impaired;
In world's scales upheld. Litter of
Quick-flung impressions aired!

True Love accepts; each and all.

A divine soul does spy....

I wish I could grow a bit
so my legs and jeans would fit
without using sewing kits or iron hem
just once them jeans would fit.

I wish I was five foot four
or maybe a little more
I could wear fashion galore, off the peg,
I beg, two inches more....

They knew I was throwing up at night. 

And that every breath was causing a fright. 

I wasn’t using their scratchy covers. 

Because I was afraid of the others. 

People at night snoop in to glare. 

Because I wasn’t sleeping, I was too impaired....

We stutter, lisp and clutter
We are not vocal – mute…

We can be choppy, mumble words
Impaired rhythm, be automatic…

Distort our sounds, substitute, omit
Or string together made-up words…

And all impediments forgiven
But God forbid – to tell the Truth!...

As delusions replace memories. 

I don’t understand how I got these enemies. 

It’s not fair, not really…

My thoughts had just become unwieldy. 

My blood was at a simmer. 

And my mind was getting dimmer. 

All I have is scared. 

All I am is impaired....

Dreams got me scared
feeling impaired
I cant get air

shaking sweat all in my hair
Dreams got me scared
feeling impaired
and I cant get air
Dreams. -TA...
