Even if a long
weekend had six days, it would
not be long enough
Even if a long
weekend had six days, it would
not be long enough
When the morning comes,
sometimes last night's events will
still be echoing
------------------------------------------
The clouds have returned,
unwanted guests, who will stay
longer than we like
Sometimes, the bright light
of the midday sun is the
last thing that you need
I'm staying in a
million dollar home, and yet
still feel like white trash
He loves tequila,
and sometimes, if he drinks too
much, it loves him back
Tomorrow is high
tea and finger sandwiches,
then a big dinner
There are times I talk
to someone I'd never talk
to, and that's okay
When you're a sponge for
human emotion, sometimes
you should be wrung out
----------------------------------
Those days when you feel
desperation reigns supreme,
sometimes there's candy
As I stare into
the night sky, I see no stars,
just inky blackness
She says she didn't
flip me off, but I still see
her middle finger
Palm fronds in a less
than tropical region does
not fool anyone
Floating jellyfish,
orange, gross, gelatinous,
looks more like vomit
I said two prayers,
one for each voice in my head
and a third for me
Her phone on vibrate,
the rhythm when a call comes
is so damn funky
-------------------------------------
Blue sky and sunshine
feel like they're being wasted
while I'm stuck inside
Multilingual kids
can speak at least one or more
languages than me
Anniversaries
are rewards for stubbornness
or extreme patience
Before you can love
others, you must first sing a
love song to yourself
What wine goes best with
embarrassment? My guess is
a blush or rose'
Cocaine was found in
the West Wing; I guess that's why
it's called the White House
You can teach an old
dog a new trick, they just might
not want to learn it
-------------------------------------
Anxiety dreams
and nightmares make going to
sleep less enticing
I would tell myself,
"Stop drinking so much", but I
don't listen to drunks
Asked for my secret
to a lasting marriage, I
said, "a patient spouse".
I can rarely tell
which day I'll be the puppet
or the puppeteer
The Fourth of July:
The one holiday disliked
by both pets and vets
He says his name is
Ernest, but it feels to me
like he's faking it
Why do we go back
and forth when all I want is
to go in and out
--------------------------------
A small yellow bird
hopping from branch to branch while
I can barely move
