I sold my old Camaro. I sold my fishing boat. A friend said he would cosign. On a small commercial loan. So I shopped around until I found. A rig within my means.
My name is Mary Magdalen. I come from Palestine. Please excuse these rags I m in. But I ve fallen on hard times. But long ago I had my work. When I was in my prime.
I am a courier. Crawling in the dirt. Toward the front line. As the crow flies. A note stashed in my shirt. From the Prince of Wales. Far above the field.
I adore thee Mother Mary. But would you change me back to a witch. And let me live in the arms of a sorry old elm. Give the gypsy moths a realm of their own.
New York has been buried in snow since last Saturday. The papers said the storm had passed over you. . Thank you for the play you wrote about Heloise.
It s uncanny. It s something strange. It s something I have. Long tried to ignore. Behind the curtain. Behind the door. If I keep my eyes cast down. It just might go away.
Mama, if you could see me now. I m not the boy you knew in Macon town. They found a uniform about my size. It s a little big I guess, but that s alright.
I was hers and you were his. The night we met out on that bridge. You knew then what I know now. That love put down comes back some how. . The comet came, the comet went.
You took the toaster when you went. You never paid your half the rent. You took the spices from the rack. But you don t have to put them back. Cause in your haste on Halloween.
Inspirtation,. Oh, she barely waits a moment. Elevator doors open. Hear her footsteps touch the stairs. . Words walk by. Describing definition. Stop and talk about it.
