soft enough
to be inviting to touch
warm enough
to need me for comfort
wild enough
to make you want me more
coarse enough
to make you want to tame me
should you have me
i beg you, never let me go
because when i’m yours
i’ll be with you always
…unless you shave me. please don’t. sincerely, your beard
The envelopes piling up on the credenza,
a daily ritual every afternoon
of dumping from the mailbox to the top of the desk.
Out of sight, out of mind, they say.
Having fun, feeling free with friends,
enjoying life to the fullest meant
barely a thought given to the duties of adulthood.
The distraction of coffee, a record playing or a good movie
always drawing her away to a better place than what was around her.
Not that it couldn’t be better.
She didn’t know how or want to acknowledge her inadequacies
staring her in the face each time she walked by the roll top.
She never excelled at math, couldn’t balance her checkbook and
never understood the value of money.
Always being reckless and not knowing she really should save.
Sadly, the day of personal reckoning finally came,
the sheriff’s insistent hammering at the front door.
“Ma’am, you’ve been served an eviction notice.”

right now
we need six degrees of separation
from the despair
what a better way
than dancing
come on, give in to the music
let it take us elsewhere
watch the wooden faces
check us out
in awe and confusion
show people
how it’s done
to break free, to let loose
and put our energy
into being deservedly exhausted
#Whatdoyousee
innocence openly displayed
the naivete is heartwarming
adventures and giggles galore
the carefree laughter of yesteryears
oh, how i wish i could return…

when you are wobbly
also witty, things shake loose
the house will fall down
he understood the chemical power
stirred the emotional pot with music
it was a formula for fame
made all lips lick
men drooled
women swooned
had a good beat
“I’d give it a 98”
instant success
Try
to find
me while I
am hidden here.
I know you can’t see
me behind this tall tree!
This small frame fits perfectly.
Giggling at my brilliance – Tee Hee!
Aren’t you amazed at my mad skills?
Look how cleverly I’ve concealed myself!
I
want to
visit Greece,
hopefully soon.
Way before my mind and body gives out.
Visit all the cool places with my friend.
All museums,
the beaches,
drinking.
FUN!
