[ 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 ]

Into ]
[ That Leaves Me Confused ]

What Do I Need To Do Next? ]

[243][ It Seems So Hard … 3•23•2021 ]
[ Sometimes My Eyes Hear Things That I Can’t Taste ]
[ & My Shoes No Longer Sounds The Same ]
[ When They Are Fastened By Velcro When They Are Tied
Around My Waist ]
[ I Can Hear Grass Growing Many Minutes Away ]
[ I Wonder How Many Times I Blink )
[ During The 25 Hours Of The Day ]
[ That Would Be An Interesting Thing To Understand
If I Had Time To Think ]
[ Think About What ]
[ How Your Glasses Fit On Your Butt? ]
[ Your Shoes ]
[ Cannot Hear The News ]
[ It Cannot Read Either ]
[ They Don’t Have Any Say In The Weather ]
[ But When You Put Out Your Hand ]
[ It Rains Whenever You Give The Command ]
[ & Your Toes ]
[ Nose ]
[ How Those Other Guys ]
[ Plays Music That Feels Gentle On Your Eyes ]
[ But It Was Never Clear ]
[ How Onions Brings Tears ]
[ To Your Ears ]
[ You Cannot Beat ]
[ How Voracious That Your Feet ]
[ Can Eat ]
[ Whenever You Were Sleeping On Your Seat ]
[ But I Don’t ]
[ Have The Time ]
[ Then I Won’t ]

[228][ Not By This Don … 3•19•2021 ]
[ What Is It About A Man That Really Makes Him A Man? ]
[ Is There A Test To Be Taken ]
[ Just To Show How Much He Can? ]
[ Hammer In A Nail? ]
[ Deliver Milk Or The Mail? ]
[ Stay Away & Out Of Prison Or Jail? ]
[ You Have Never Seen That Test ]
[ That Would Help You Be The Best ]
[ You Always Thought That You Would Be Taught How To Be
A Man By Your Father ]
[ But Ever Since They Took You Into Their House ]
[ Don Asked Himself ( WHY SHOULD I BOTHER? ) ]
[ Don Would Had Rather Forget ]
[ The Day The Both Of You Met ]
[ You Thought You Were Supposed To Eventually Walk In
His Shoes ]
[ But You Saw All Of The Social Cues ]
[ That Showed You All Of The Clues ]
[ Don Did Not Gain A Son ]
[ He Gained An Annoyance ]
[ You Guess To Know When He Was Done ]
[ You Needed To Be Clairvoyant ]
[ Don Never Wanted To Teach Or Coach ]
[ He Looked @ You As If You Were A Roach ]
[ He Just Wanted To Sweep This Life Size Bug ]
[ Right Under The Rug ]
[ Not Ever Taking The Time ]
[ & Give You Direction In Life ]
[ On How To Save A Dime ]
[ Never Showing You How To Make A Roast ]
[ Or Even Teaching You How To Make Perfect Toast ]
[ All He Ever Did Was Dream Of Living @ The Coast ]
[ Not One Single Day Did He Invest ]
[ So All That He Did ]
[ Was To Move To The Beach To Enjoy The Sunsets ]
[ Every Wednesday Night He Would Leave The House To Be A
Mentor To Boys That He Didn’t Know ]
[ Where Were Your Oats That You Deserved To Sow? ]
[ He Was Always Happy When He Was There ]
[ But @ Home, He ALWAYS Showed That He NEVER Cared ]
[ Not One, Tiny, Little Bit ]
[ So All The While That You Were Growing Up ]
[ You Must Have Not Been Worth A Shit ]
[ So You Always Bit ]
[ Your Lip ]
[ & Put Up With All Of It ]

[123][ Not What I Wanted To Do … 4•6•2021 ]
[ Well Isn’t That Just Great ]
[ I Just Did Something That I Hate ]
[ I Just Hurt ]
[ Someone That Is So Important To Me ]
[ With My Written Words ]
[ My Words Usually Sing Out The Truth About What I
Want To Say ]
[ But This Did Not Happen Yesterday ]
[ They Came Across Strong ]
[ But Maybe The Explaination Was Way Too Long ]
[ So Then The Whole Meaning ]
[ Came Out All Wrong ]
[ When I’m Here ]
[ I Think I Explain Myself Well ]
[ But It Has Been Made Abundantly Clear ]
[ That My Message Went To Hell ]
[ Hurt Towards You Should Never Had Been There ]
[ What I Was Attempting To Say & Share ]
[ Is How Much I Miss You & Care ]
[ You Used To Be Here @ Least Two Days A Week, Sometimes
More ]
[ I Would Get SO Excited When I Heard Your Soft Knock On
My Door ]
[ Then I Knew You Were All Mine ]
[ Into The Night ]
[ Until @ Least Nine ]
[ But … Now You Are Not Here ]
[ & That Causes A Tear ]
[ & Then Another One ]
[ & Another One ]
[ I Find That Doing This Is Not Very Fun! ]
[ I Would Much Rather Give You A Big Long Hug ]
[ Then Pull Your Heart Out ]
[ To Give It A Tug ]
[ Hurting Is/Has/Was/Never On My Mind ]
[ When It Comes To You, Cavarona ]
[ I Am Not That Kind ]
[ Of Person Or Friend ]
[ I’ll Feel That Way To The Very End! ]
[ & I Will So Fight ]
[ For That Conclusion ]
[ To Not Be Anywhere In My Sight! ]
[ Especially After This Discussion ]
[ It Will Not Be Tonight! ]
[ You Are The Cavarona Clear To The Bone ]
[ That Is Shown ]
[ As Well As It’s Known ]
[ Whenever You Take A Trip To The Beach Like You Will & Do ]
[ You Can Look @ That Bag With The Lousy Emblem ]
[ & Know That I Was Thinking Of You When I Bought That For You ]
[ You Are So Missed ]

[142][ Watch The Waves … 3•21•2021 ]
[ Here I Sit @ The Beach Watching The Sun Set ]
[ Is There A Higher Being? ]
[ Oh Yes, I Bet ]
[ As I Grow Older ]
[ I Find ]
[ That True Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder ]
[ As The Sun Drops Below That Cloud ]
[ I Hear Nothing But Waves ]
[ The People Have Left, So There Is No Crowd ]
[ The Waves Are In A Constant Flow ]
[ Sometimes Fast ]
[ More Oftentimes Slow ]
[ In & Out, In & Out ]
[ What’s That All About? ]
[ Sometimes The Waves Go Up Far On The Sand ]
[ Sometimes The Waves Reach Out Like A Hand ]
[ Grabbing Everything It Can ]
[ Every Once In Awhile It’s Someone That Was Not
Paying Attention To Where They Are ]
[ I’ve Seen On T.V. ]
[ When Some Waves Enveloped A Car ]
[ When People Don’t Respect Mother Nature ] [ They Could That They Don’t Have Much Of A Future ]
[ But As I Sit Watching Mother Nature’s Best ]
[ I Hear The Heartbeat In My Chest ]
[ Oh It’s So Serene Up Here ]
[ My Heartfelt Feelings For The Ocean ]
[ Causes A Tear ]
[ I’m So Thankful That My Best Friend Brought Me Here Today ]
[ We Are Definitely Going To Find A Way ]
[ To Come Back For Another Stay ]
[ We Were Able To Spend The Day Until The Sun Went Down ]
[ There Were Very Few Times ]
[ When We Were The Only Ones Around ]
[ There Were People To The Left & h To The Right ]
[ But Then Crowds Went Away ]
[ When The BeacLost Its Light ]
[ I Took More Pictures That Day Than I Ever Had ]
[ The Pictures Did Not Turn Out All That Bad ]
[ When I’ll Look @ Them In The Future ]
[ I Will Happy & Sad ]
[ Ecstatic Of How Fun The Day Turned Out To Be ]
[ Sad Because It Will Be A Reminder ]
[ That My Best Friend Maria Will Not Be The Caregiver For Me ]

[546]▪︎[ Some Friends … 6•6•2021 ]
[ You Could Laugh Or You Could Cry ]
[ But Things Stop Being Funny ]
[ When Someone Drips Water From Their Eye ]
[ You Never Want To Be The Cause Of A Tear ]
[ In Fact, You Don’t Want To Be Anywhere Near ]
[ You Don’t Want To Be Completely Gone ]
[ Because You Do Want To Be The One To Give ]
[ Them The Shoulder, They Can Lean On ]
[ Having That Shoulder, Is A Much Needed Thing ]
[ Sometimes, That’s All You Really Need To Bring ]
[ A Good Relationship Is When You Are Able To Go
Both Ways ]
[ Sometimes You Are The Rock ]
[ & Sometimes You Just Have One Of Those Days ]
[ You Need To Feel Secure With The Person You Go To ]
[ Sometimes They Don’t Even Need A Clue ]
[ They Are Just There On Cue ]
[ & Know, Exactly What To Do ]
[ It Needs To Be Communicated ]
[ That All Parties Are Dedicated ]
[ For The Same Cause ]
[ Without Taking A Pause ]
[ There Is Fun & There Is Sadness ]
[ When You Find The Right One ]
[ You Are Usually Sad Less ]
[ There Is No Such Thing As The Highly, Sought After Marital Bliss ]
[ Every Couple Has Bumps & Curves In The Road ]
[ But Being Single Is The One Thing You Shouldn’t Miss ]
[ Being Married Will Be The Hardest Job You Will Ever, Ever Have ]
[ With A Good Partner ]
[ Your Problems Could Be Cut In Half ]
[ When You Get To The Point Where You Have Two Brains
Thinking As One ]
[ That’s When You Start To Really Have Fun ]
[ & Then No One Wants To Run ]

[159]▪︎[ When You Know It Is True … 4•6•2021 ]
[ What Does The Word (LOVE) Mean To Me Or You? ]
[ Does Love Make The Sky Blue? ]
[ How Do I Know When The Love Is True? ]
[ Love Comes In Many Shapes & Sizes ]
[ Sometimes Love Hides Behind Disguises ]
[ A Disguise That Does Not Hide Love For Very Long ]
[ There Eventually Comes The Day ]
[ Where I Feel & Know Where That Person Belongs ]
[ One Day, This Woman Took A Chance & Knocked On My Door ]
[ It Took Me A Few Days ]
[ Before I Figured Out What She Came To My House For ]
[ She Came To Spend Some Time With Me & To Enhance My
Life ]
[ After She Became My Friend ]
[ She Then Became My Wife ]
[ Then One Day This One Woman Showed Up To Be A Caregiver
For Me ]
[ I Had No Clue ]
[ Who She Would Turn Out To Be ]
[ I Did Not Know, That Was My Best Friend Hiding Behind Those Kind Eyes ]
[ I Did Not Know That My Wife To Be ]
[ Thought That I Was Any Kind Of A Prize ]
[ I Thought That Plain Old Me Was Seen ]
[ As Just One Of Those Ordinary Guys ]
[ Two Different Times, Two Different Effects ]
[ I Find That I’m A Lucky Man ]
[ As I Take Time To Reflect ]
[ About These Two Different Women ]
[ That I’ve Come To Highly Respect ]
[ Granted These Two Occurrences Happened 26 Years Apart ]
[ My Wife Is In & My Friend Is Near ]
[ & Dear ]
[ To My Heart ]
[ I Would Walk Through Fire For Both Of Them If That’s What
I Was Called Up To Do ]
[ Because When It Comes To These Two ]
[ I’d Walk Through That Fire ]
[ Without Any Shoes ]
[ My Feet Would Be Hurting, But My Smile Would Be Wide ]
[ If I Said That I Wasn’t Scared ]
[ That Would Had Been A Lie ]
[ It Is Not Like I Would Have, Something To Prove ]
[ But For Both Of Them ]
[ I’d Show That It Wouldn’t Matter If It Was Heaven Or Hell I’d
Have To Move ]
[ Each Woman Is In My Life For The Same Reason ]
[ To Enhance My Life Through Season After Season ]
[ My Wife Loves Me Because Of This & My Friend Loves
Me Because Of That ]
[ My Wife Is The Only One That I Kiss ]
[ But Both Of Them Could Say ]
[ That Sometimes I’m A Brat ]
[ I Don’t Want Either One Of Them To Go Anywhere ]
[ Because They Both Very Much Care ]
[ If Either One Uped & Left Me Here ]
[ That Would Cause Me To Tear ]

[357][ The Unicorn Search … 4•6•2021 ]
[ Where Is The Elusive Unicorn ]
[ I Feel That I’ve Been Searching For Her ]
[ For Over 21 Years After I Was Born ]
[ What City, Or State Should I Look? ]
[ There Is No (UNICORN) Definition ]
[ In Any Magazine Or Book ]
[ Does She Have Black, Brown, Red Or Blonde Hair ]
[ Is Her Skin Tan, Or Fair? ]
[ I Won’t Know ]
[ Until I See Her Standing Right There ]
[ Will She Ever Stand In One Place ]
[ So I Could Turn Her Around ]
[ & See Her Face ]
[ Does Every Guy Search For A Unicorn Of Their Own? ]
[ Or Is This Quest ]
[ For Me, To Complete All Alone? ]
[ I Climb Up On Every Perch ]
[ In Sight ]
[ So I Can Search & Search ]
[ Until There Is No More Light ]
[ I Hear The Tic-Tok, Tic-Tok ]
[ Of The Wall Clock ]
[ I Get Tired After A Walk ]
[ Around The Block ]
[ Then The Alarm Clock Goes Off & Shakes ]
[ Every Morning ]
[ This How I Wake ]
[ Nothing Is Boring ]
[ After The Deep Breath’s I Take ]
[ Through All This Time It Seems ]
[ That The Unsuccessful Search Has Just Been In My Dreams ]
[ Because My Dream Told Me That My Unicorn Has Always Been
In My House ]
[ For When I Look In The Bed Next To Me ]
[ My Unicorn Has Always Been My Spouse ]
[ For The Last 26 Years Of My Life ]
[ My Unicorn Has Always Been My Beautiful Wife ]
[ & Some People Swear That Dreams Never Come True ]
[ But From My View ]
[ Mine Has ]
[ So I Wish Yours Does Too! ]

[674][ Las Vegas … 7•2•2021 ]
[ Las Vegas Is Such A Wonderful Town ]
[ We Have Been Having Fun Ever Since Our Plane
Touched Down ]
[ But This Time There Is Such The Small Crowd ]
[ So When You Are Inside ]
[ Things Are Not Very Loud ]
[ When You Go To The Shops Looking For ( IT ) ]
[ You Can Get In & Out ]
[ In Just A Few Minutes ]
[ Things Are Not Always @ A High Price ]
[ So If You Really Like Something Nice ]
[ It Is Usually There For You To Buy Twice ]
[ I Am Bringing Back Souvenirs For Four Friends ]
[ I Might Get More ]
[ But It All Will Depend ]
[ On What I Will See ]
[ Except For Three Pairs Of Shoes ]
[ I Really Have Not Bought Anything For Me ]
[ But That’s Okay, This Is Now How I Live ]
[ Now I Save My Money ]
[ So I Can Buy More Things To Give ]
[ I Like When People Come Over To My Place ]
[ Then I Can Give Them A Gift ]
[ & Then They Get A Smile On Their Face ]
[ Since I Have No Mother ]
[ & I Just Lost My Brother ]
[ I Find Joy ]
[ By Making The Day Go Well For Others ]
[ Since Being Naughty By Nature Is Not My Thing ]
[ I Like To Give Stuff ]
[ That Is Not Attached By A String ]
[ There Is No Reciprocal Action Needed ]
[ Because I Don’t Want The Receiver Feel Defeated ]
[ If They Cannot ]
[ Reciprocate What They Just Got ]
[ But Vegas Is One The One Place That We Love To Come To ]
[ So Now We Will Plan To Come Back ]
[ In A Year Or Two ]
