(1092)▪︎[ Such Bad Years … 12•30•2021 ]

[ It Was Funny ]
[ Like When The Eggs Were A Little Too Runny ]

[ When You Were Looking Over Some Stories That You
Have Written In The Past ]
[ You Saw A Story That Was About How Bad The Year (2019)
Was ]
[ That Made You Laugh ]

[ If They Knew What The Years Of (2020) & (2021) Had In Store ]
[ They Would Want To Skip Forward & Go Straight To The Year
(2024) ]

[ If (2020) Was Not (1) Of The Good Years ]
[ & (2021) Gave Us Alot Of Fears ]
[ Will Year (2022) Cause Alot Of Tears? ]

[ You Do Not Say (OKAY, BUT …) ]
[ Or Look Blankly & Ask (OKAY … WHAT?) ]

[ If You Jump (2) Years, It Would Give The World Time To
Regenerate ]
[ Then (2) Years Would Be A Long Enough Wait ]

[ For The World To Get Back On Its Regular Axis ]
[ No, But Not For More Taxes ]

[ When (2020) & (2021) Caused Some People’s Knees To Buckle ]
[ Seeing The First Line Of That Story Made You Chuckle ]

[ What The Hell Was Wrong With (2019?) ]
[ You Bet The Next (2) Years Must Have Really Made You Scream! ]
[ Nothing About Those (2) Years Was Any Positive Part Of
Your Dream ]

[ That You Ever Had ]
[ (YES VIRGINIA, THEY WERE THAT BAD!) ]

[ Looking Back Over (2021) ]
[ You Were Just Glad That You Still Did Not Own A Gun ]

[ You Would Have Shot One Or The Other ]
[ It Would Have Definitely Been The One Who NEVER Had A
Brother ]

[ Looking Back, You Can’t See What Was Wrong With (2019)
To Complain About ]
[ Because Year (2020) Made You Shout ]

(132)▪︎[ It Was A Good One … 2•10•2021 ]

[ Damn, That Was Going So Well ]
[ & Then The ‘VID ]
[ Shot That To Hell ]

[ I Had A Really Good Thing Going There ]
[ & Now They Have No More Magazines To Share ]

[ It Built-Up My Collection By Doubling It’s Size ]
[ & Now Because Of The VID ’19 ]
[ That Whole Agreement Died ]

[ It Was Really Clear ]
[ That Was One Of The Best Things About Coming
Up Here ]

[ She Was Kind Of Short With Me When I Asked ]
[ I Am Glad That She Couldn’t See My Displeasure ]
[ That I Was Hiding Behind This STEELERS Mask ]

[ I Wanted To Ask ( WHAT? & WHY? ) ]
[ They Have No Idea How Hard They Are To Find ]
[ & How Expensive They Are To Buy ]

[ So I Refrained From Saying Something Snide ]
[ & I Did A Good Job To Hide ]

[ My Disappointment Of It All ]
[ I Guess That Nullifies The Reason To Look For A Florist Up Here
To Give A Call ]

[ I Used To Want To Give Them Flowers As A Big Thank You ]
[ So I Guess That Puts A Check In Another Box ]
[ Of Something On My List That I Won’t Have To Do ]

[ That Leaves More Money In My Wallet ]
[ There By Leaving More In My Pocket ]

[ Oh Well, After Everything Is Said & Done ]
[ I’d Have To Say ( THAT IT WAS A GOOD RUN ) ]

(028)▪︎[ Drifting Away … 1•8•2022 ]

[ Oh, The Silence Is Deafening ]
[ & The Insanity Is Threatening ]

[ Threatening Your Way Of Life ]
[ By Threatening Another Person With A Knife ]

[ Than That Would Burn Out The Light ]
[ That Shows You Wrong From Right ]

[ You Do Know The Difference ]
[ But Now You Feign Indifference ]

[ Indifference To The Laws Of Man ]
[ Thinking It Is Okay To Do Whatever You Can ]

[ To Thumb Your Nose @ Society As A Whole ]
[ Showing Your Black Soul ]

[ Covering The Pathway Back ]
[ Always Being Aware Of An Attack ]

[ Being In The Fight Or Flight Mode ]
[ Living By Your Own Code ]

[ Of Conduct ]
[ For Any Conflict ]

[ Life Or Death ]
[ Cocaine Or Meth ]

[ That Has Always Been A Choice For You To Go ]
[ It Has Always Been Up To You To Say (YES) or (NO) ]

[ Remember That The Pathway Is Now Covered Ground ]
[ Nothing Looks Familiar ]
[ When You Look Around ]

[ Were Those (2) Trees Always Standing Alone? ]
[ You Realize That You Cannot Find Your Way Home ]

[ Because There Is Not One ]
[ So All You Want To Do Is Run ]

[ But In What Direction ]
[ If You Are Wrong ]
[ Do You Have The Ability To Make A Correction? ]

[ You Know The Answer ]
[ & That Could Eat You Up Inside, Like Cancer ]

[ You Have Known For Years ]
[ Creating (1) Of Your Greatest Fears ]

[ Of Being Alone When You Die ]
[ @ The Hands Of Another Guy ]

[ Stabbed Or Shot ]
[ Whichever (1) Would Put You On The Spot ]

[ With Things Growing Cold ]
[ When You Are Knowing ]
[ You Won’t Die When You Are Old ]

[ Life Just Drifting Away ]
[ Not Being Able To Live Another Day ]

(1)▪︎[ Thank You … Date Unknown ]

[ Dani, You Actually Said That You Love My Stories! ]
[ I Always Thought That You Thought ]
[ That They Were Were Dumb & Boring ]

[ You See This Is How I Write My Feelings & Thoughts ]
[ That Are Spinning Around In My Mind ]
[ I Have Trouble Verbalizing When Put On The Spot ]
[ & Then I’ll Forget What I’m Supposed To Rewind ]

[ You Hate When I Get All Touchey- Feely With You ]
[ You Do Your Thing ]
[ & I’ll Always Do What I Do ]

[ I Write About The Thoughts That Wander In ]
[ If I Waited For The Right Time To Say Them ]
[ I Don’t Think That I Could Remember The Exact Words Again ]

[ I Have To Say This Out Loud ]
[ You Getting & Taking This Job ]
[ Makes Me So Proud ]

[ You Have Completely Stepped Out Of Your Comfort Zone ]
[ & Then You Took A Step Towards The Unknown ]

[ You Went Through That Door ]
[ For Your Interview ]
[ & Because Of Your Winning Personality & Hilarious Sense Of
     Humor ]
[ You Had Them Rolling On The Floor ]

[ It Never Takes You Long ]
[ To Show Others ]
[ That You ARE Both Beautiful & Strong ]
[ & My Observation Of This Is NOT Wrong! ]

[ When You Worked Here I NEVER Asked You To Explain
     Yourself ]
[ I Have NEVER Done That With Anyone Else ]

[ Never ]
[ Have I Ever ]

[ Trusted Another DSP AS Fast ]
[ Every Others, Except One, Are Just A Blur In The Past ]
[ I Worried Early On ]
[ That You Would Never Wanted To Last ]

[ You Went Toe-To-Toe When You Needed To ]
[ You Never Let Him Walk On You ]

[ You ( ALWAYS ) Held Your Ground ]
[ You Always Got Him To Settle Down ]
[ Because He Never, Ever Made You Look Like The Clown ]

[ Never! ]
[ Ever! ]
[ I Will Be Impressed Forever ]

[ You Were A Dream Come True ]
[ For Us Two ]

[ I Will Miss Our Nighttime ]
[ But I Will Never Stop Spending My Dime ]

[ Because I Get What I Always Want Out Of Every Gift I Give ]
[ It Is That Beautiful Smile ]
[ That Tells Me That You Are So Appreciative ]

[ You Are So Genuine & Real ]
[ & I Really Do Know How You Really Feel ]

[ I Know That You Care ]
[ But That Is One Emotion & Thought That You Rarely Share ]
[ But I Know That The Love Is There ]

[ After All This Time I Knew It Was Hard ]
[ For You To Actually Say That You Have A Deep Regard ]

[ You Will Always Be Our Daughter ]
[ & We Will Continue To ]
[ Love You ]
[ Care About You ]
[ Worry About You ]
[ Watch Over You ]
[ Take Care Of You ]
[ Buy Stuff For You ]
[ Make Room In Our Life For You ]
[ Share Our Life With You ]
[ Listen To You ]

[011]▪︎[ So … 1•5•2021 ]

[ Frustration Sets Out All Over The Land ]
[ Because All People Hear ]
[ Is Demand After Demand After Demand ]

[ Everyone Is Demanding, But Nobody Is Doing ]
[ & If Someone Screws Up ]
[ Others Will Be Suing ]

[ People Can Sue ]
[ Because Of What Others Do ]
[ & If They Don’t Like You ]
[ They Can Sue You, Too ]

[ & People Named Jack Or Jill ]
[ Could Be Working On Bills ]
[ Or Pills ]

[ Others ]
[ Could Be Talking With Brothers ]
[ & Or Mothers ]

[ But Why ]
[ Would Others Lie? ]

[ They Won’t Know ]
[ So ]
[ Then They Have To Go ]

[003]▪︎[ That Is How I Want It … 1•2•2021 ]

[ It Is A Completely New Year, But It Is The Same Kind Of
Treatment ]
[ If Nothing More ]
[ It Seems Like A Clear Statement ]

[ A Statement Saying That (THINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED) ]
[ The Priorities Have Not Been Rearranged ]
[ But Maybe Pre-Arranged ]

[ Arranged To Somome Else’s Liking ]
[ It Would Not Be Because I Like Hiking ]

[ Because I Just Like To Walk ]
[ While I Talk ]

[ Because I Must Confess ]
[ That There Is Nothing More ]
[ Or Nothing Less ]

[ Because You See ]
[ That Is Just How I Like Things To Be ]
[ For Me ]

[ Right Now My Heart Goes Out To My Best Friend ]
[ I Am So Concerned ]
[ & I Don’t Know What I Should Do Or Send ]

[ I Know That You Feel Like You Have A Big Hole In Your
Chest That Is Trying Really Hard To Suck You
Into ]
[ That Leaves Me Confused ]
[ Because I Don’t Know What I Am Supposed To Do ]

[ Do I Call Or Text? ]
[ I Am Confused & Perplexed ]
[ After I Do Something, I Am Still Wondering About
What Do I Need To Do Next? ]

[ I Would Watch Over Your Two Kids If That Is What Was
Needed ]
[ I Am So Glad That You Broke It Off With That Big Boobed
Blonde ]
