(sigh!) A REVERIE


SomeOne told me
"Everything you need to know
you learned in kindergarten."

Everything I learned 
in kindergarten...
I forgot!

WAIT! I remember! There
I kissed my first--no, 
second girl...lovely hair!

I had slept with one older
--she was eight--I told her
we  were too young

Too young for what?
Neither knew.
We just blew

into each others ear
until we could not hear.
All wet in there.

Hot night
Wet night
Sweat night
Didn't DO anything...

Well, we kissed,
hissed, ummm
and  missed.

Never let me say
I'd not live it again
Because, my friend

Ever have I lived such
sweeter life. If only better
I might remember

my kindergarten days. WOW!
And between then and now:
drunked, drugged,
eons, it seems, of
that. Past is past,
so "Live and Love"

PEACE to you, Peeps.
My motto:  
BE JOYFUL with me!

  1. Haven't been here for a while, but made up for it by reading the previous posts I have missed. Loved especially your post about hearing and conducting music while you were mowing grass in 100 degrees heat. Loved too the photo you shared for Life is Beautiful. Your daily schedule includes Starbucks ... I love that.

    Blessings.

    1. Is that "D" a big smile? Or a big tongue saying, "THHHHHPPPHT"? grin!
      Glad to 'see' you, Izdiher.

    1. Well PattiKen...what good is being old, if ya didn't make some memories while young. I'm afraid I have more than my share, or maybe I just talk about them--grin!

      Tomorrow I gotta start reading and commenting again. Just cannot do everything, etc., etc. Sound pretty universal?
      PEACE!

    1. NOT figured out, Magpie. Even yet today, not 'figured out'--grin!
      But just being naturally oneself (and self-centered?) life
      unfolds, one day after another. To live "In the moment" is an ideal,
      not a 'given'...

      SEE how you got me to thinking again?

      PEACE!

    1. Thanks for NOT writing:
      "Is it true?"
      Is that YOU?"

      Instead..."Awww :) cute!
      What could be nicer.
      Blessings!
