DY>RA>  DL>[How do you find the time?]
DY>RA>  Some jump out, and only take a few minutes....
Others drag on for days, like a bad pregnancy, <g>.
Sometimes it is very like, pregnant with pause.

DY>Lucky you...  They leap very nicely indeed, and are a
DY>[...] My head is reeling [and rocking].
One of the finer aspects of life, rocking.

DY>RA>  Have so many irons in the fire I need to hire someone
DY>....empathy, empathy.  I understand [capital u].
Whatever happened to all that "piss and vinegar" that
we always used to be full of, to over flowing; where did that go?.

DY>RA>  Btw, hoping to see Bud bear it all in the next few days to
DY>I'm hurrying!  I didn't realize the date. I'll wrap it up this

Ok, no need to be overly hasty in creating the masterpiece,
like love -- should take a little longer than planned, <g>.

DY>Several short stories in one?. [I'm protesting too much as
That sounds even better, and does take a bit longer.

DY>...a little mental derangement is good for the soul.

Yep. One of the reasons I've existed this long! Without the derangement,
would have been history long ago, ala several of my heroes.

DY>Thanks for this one.  It's one I would like to hear,
=instead of read.  Coffee anyone??

They've actually got a Coffee House with poetry readings
down the road a bit. Need to get over there and snag some
authors. In more ways than one. I'll take a large Black Cherry.

RA>    JUST ANOTHER DAY
RA>  Off to sustenance stamp office;
RA>  What a great grand way of life.
DY>This is good.  And this more often true than not. Unfortunately
=it's a perspective/reality that's lost in the land of Newt.  The
=powers-that-be-of-the-month are promoting a whole other agenda.

Nearly every time I hear the "Lizard" -- I get more nervous,
worrying about the future of the "average" American.

DY>[I know, I know, poetry.  Okay, how about this:]
DY>*God of heaven, god of light,
= Protect us from the religious right.
=*A tiny litany of Bud's ;)

Good one!!! Right, right -- poet's stuff....


WHITE STUFF!

Wow, far out, hey man,
Just what I need, hit the heights.

Overly close to the mirror,
Microscopic examination of the sights.

If one appears! -- snort,
Snatch it, looking for white.

Who is that staring back, so nearby
Looking too, but, not in the eye.

Wondering who it is -- who cares;
I ask why? -- should I?

The lines are there, so is the white
Snatch it up, but, is it right?

Bound to be more lines, as time goes by,
White'll be back -- no doubt -- too!

Maybe, perhaps, hmm, if I just dye,
Is that what you do?

Or, are you a natural blonde?

Rick... just one of the kids -- getting behinder, behinder and behinder...
