For a Change...

...I'm crying for someone
Other than myself
Who deserves so much to be loved
For who he is

And i couldn't be The One
to love him

Passage

I watch distant branches gently sway
against a backdrop of unblemished blue
Aching for a love i have reached for
and not grasped
Loving the souls with whom i have
Crossed paths

In that we are kin
In that we are one

Irony

The only calls i get on my land line these days are from the Do Not Call List (877-289-5108).

Crying From an Old Place...

... where
Someone doesn't reach over
and touch you in
the middle of the night
Like they're glad you're
There.

Sometimes...

... when i can't go back to sleep at 3 a.m., i turn on the computer, just to hear it hum.

Quote 47

A cello's playing in my head
Just for me
And a new desire is blowing
Songs in my ear
... Shall i go for a smile?

Shall i
Shall i... keep it to myself

If you could understand...

I think i saw a little poem
Falling off a star
Oh i think i saw a
Tear in your eyes
As a place to spend time

Can i, can i
Step into your world

- "Beautiful Night", Lotus, Elisa

Idiocy

Yesterday a coworker of Denisse's asked if she had recently gained weight. She even went so far as to add, "Have you not been exercising lately?"

Denisse was dumbfounded. She had been totally caught off guard. This is a woman who runs six days a week and on Sunday does yoga. Having become self-conscious, for the rest of the afternoon she kept checking herself out in mirrors.

What kind of moron would say such a thing to another human being? My coworker Derek II has been bulging, and not in the right places. Have i said a thing? No!

The logic is simple: If they are aware of their weight gain, it's pointless to bring it up. If they are blissfully unaware, leave them in peace! Or... perhaps they are aware but don't give a shit. In which case, don't make an ass of yourself!!!
