ONCE UPON A TIME, LONG AGO OUT OF THE DARK CLOUDS REFLECTING OFF THE CLEAR BLUE WATER THE LONE WOLF EMERGED MAKING A LIFE OUT OF THE FOGGY MESS! IN SPITE, OF ANY INBRED TRAITS OF WOLF PACK MENTALITY, HE TRAVELLED SOLO AMONGST THE MASSES, EVEN WHEN JOINED BY OTHERS, STILL HE WALKS THE SINGULAR…

 A LIDLESS CUP OF COFFEE, MADE TO ORDER, APPEARS UPON REQUEST, HOT AND BOUGHT, SOUGHT AND NOT, MY CUP OF TEA, YET, BOTH DESIRED ONLY TO BE QUICKLY CONSUMED OR SPILT UPON MY LAP, WITH A LITTLE FUSS AND SOME SUGAR AND CREAM. SHUT UP, YOU, INSUFFERABLE POET, DRINK IT UP AND STOP WRITING ABOUT…

GOD HEARD ME! I RAN AND RAN, TILL, I COULDN’T ANYMORE, TILL, I GOT THERE. I SANG AND SANG, TILL THE MORNING LIGHT, THEN I PRAYED AND PRAYED, TILL GOD HEARD ME! I RAN, TILL I COULDN’T MOVE ANOTHER STEP! JUST TO LEAVE AT LONELY DARK, THEN, I SANG AND SANG, TILL THE MORNING LIGHT! TILL,…

DECEPTION SNUCK UP AND DUG A SHALLOW GRAVE.   WITH MANY MOVES AND CRUEL LIES, SPUN TO THE TUNE  OF PROFESSIONAL RUTHLESSNESS!

Mni wo waste’do, Mni wiconi, Mni ki wakan Get the Loving from the skies, drop by drop, day by day, multiply, multiply it all! May the Loving Water be full of Love, purify, purify it all!   Mind, body, and spirit! Drop by drop, day by day.  Make Water have long life!  Make Water good!…

FORGOTTEN WITH ALL THOSE DRINKS TO GAIN A NEW MOOD, I THINK, SO, TOO, WITH ALL THOSE LITTLE JOINTS, OH, SO FORGOTTEN, NO ONE PICKED ME UP, FORGOTTEN, BEFORE ANYONE COULD REMEMBER ME, FORGOTTEN, EASIER THAN KNOWING ME, FORGOTTEN IN THIS LAND, OH, SO, FORGOTTEN, BUT, I NEVER DID FORGET, FORGOTTEN GOT FOUND, FORGOTTEN GOT…
